White rice

White rice is a simple, refined grain with no fermentation, aging, or known histamine-triggering compounds.

• Genuinely neutral — it contains no histamine, isn't a known liberator, and doesn't appear to interfere with the enzymes your body uses to break histamine down

• A useful baseline food — many people with histamine sensitivity use plain white rice as a foundation when figuring out which other foods work for them

Stored and reheated rice is worth handling carefully for general food safety reasons — this isn't a histamine-specific concern, but eating it freshly cooked is the more straightforward approach.
