Thomas' English Muffins

High histamine

Thomas' English Muffins run high, mainly because of the vinegar, plus moderate wheat flour and yeast.

These are yeast-raised wheat muffins made with flour, added gluten, oil, and a few conditioners.

  • Vinegar — this is the high driver here and the main reason the muffins land high overall.

  • Wheat flour, gluten, yeast, and soybean oil — each of these sits at moderate, but the vinegar is what sets the top-line level.

For a lower-histamine base, a fresh, simple white roll or homemade muffin without vinegar tends to sit gentler.
