Beet Greens Histamine Information

Beet Greens, in general, aren't classified as high histamine food nor do they appear on common lists of significant histamine liberators. However, they do contain a small amount of histamine. Beet greens are highly nutritious; they are loaded with vitamins like A, C, E, K, and B2, and minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, iron, copper and potassium. As a high source of vitamin C, Beet Greens could potentially aid in lowering histamine. Vitamin C is believed to help modulate histaminic reaction, as it helps break down histamine and decrease its release in the body. One study has shown that vitamin C might lower blood histamine concentration and could be effective in alleviating histamine-induced symptoms (Johnston, CS. et.al., 1996). It is worth noting that individual reactions to food substances can significantly vary, and while beet greens are not commonly noted as triggering histamine reactions, some individuals with more severe or sensitive histamine intolerance may potentially react to it. Therefore, it's always best to monitor any changes and symptoms after consuming beet greens if you have a known histamine intolerance. Consulting a healthcare professional before introducing any significant dietary changes is always recommended. References: Johnston, CS. et al. (1996).
