Zatarain's Jambalaya Mix

High histamine

This rice mix is high in histamine, mainly from tomato powder and yeast extract.

This is seasoned rice with a blend of tomato, pepper, and savory spices, and a couple of those drive the level.

  • Tomato powder and yeast extract lead — tomato is a histamine liberator and yeast extract is high, so between them they set the rating.

  • The spice blend adds to it — the onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper, and paprika are all moderate, so the seasoning stays on the higher side even though the rice base itself is gentle.

Cooking plain rice with your own fresh herbs gives you a much lower-histamine bowl.
