Baba Ganoush Histamine Information

Eggplant has a lot of histamine. Baba Ganoush, a popular Middle Eastern dish, primarily consists of roasted eggplant, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and seasonings. Tahini, made from sesame seeds, is much the same in terms of histamine. As with sesame seeds, research is inadequate to classify it into any of the listed histamine categories. Olive oil, another ingredient in Baba Ganoush, shows potential in lowering histamine levels. It’s a source of healthy fats that may reduce inflammation and its antioxidant properties could theoretically decrease histamine levels (Reference: Giugliano, D., Ceriello, A., & Esposito, K. (2006). The effects of diet on inflammation: emphasis on the metabolic syndrome. Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 48(4), 677-685.) However, concrete research and evidence regarding the effect of dietary oils on histamine levels are lacking. Lemon juice and garlic have not been thoroughly researched regarding their impact on histamine levels, and cannot be classified into a specific histamine category. In conclusion, while some individual ingredients of Baba Ganoush might show a potential of impact on histamine level theoretically, their specific effects in the context of this dish are not well-studied and the scientific community hasn't reached definitive conclusions. This product has not been researched well enough to publish any information, our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon.
