🍎 Making low histamine snacks
As well as being very tasty, these snacks all follow the SIGHI list for histamine and use lower histamine foods on that list.
We leave out ingredients that are often used in snacks such as highly processed foods, peanuts, beans and lentils, and colourings that are often an issue for those with histamine issues.
Instead we use equally delicious ingredients that are so tasty (and I bet nobody who wasn't low histamine would even get these snacks are for a special diet!).

R cook says
Lots of histamine liberators in these recipes like mango which can cause major reactions in people with histamine intolerance. Wondering if you could specify this when making recipes to pre warn people which ingredients are liberators?
Claire says
These recipes predominantly follow the SIGHI list, which has a ? as liberator for mango, and so isn't 'confirmed' as one. It also has a note, 'To be debated. Is often well tolerated'. Histamine levels (and the very concept of liberators itself) are debated in many foods, and so each person needs to follow the advice of their doctor or dietician for personal health circumstances. The recipes from my site have the SIGHI 'score' at the end of each recipe card on the post.

So glad you like them Nat! And the hike sounds like fun - enjoy it (and take some tasty snacks!)
