Is Tim Hortons Apple Cider Timbit High in Histamine?

Tim Hortons Apple Cider Timbit

High histamine

This apple cider Timbit is high in histamine, mostly from the defatted soy flour in the dough.

Fast food is cooked in batches and held warm rather than made when you order it, so it is rarely as fresh as something cooked at home. That matters here because histamine builds up as protein foods sit, which means the same item can affect you differently depending on how long it waited.

This is a small fried doughnut ball flavored with apple and cinnamon.

Defatted soy flour leads — it lands high and it is baked right into the dough, which sets the level for the whole bite.
The flour, flavored bits, and oil add more — the enriched wheat flour, apple cinnamon flavored bits, and soybean oil all sit at moderate, layering on top of the soy flour.

Since the soy flour is in the dough itself, a different treat is the cleaner choice.
