Black Mustard Seeds Histamine Information

Black Mustard Seeds are commonly used in culinary applications across the world. As per the nutritional information, they are a rich source of phytonutrients, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. Specific scientific studies directly linking black mustard seeds to histamine activity are not easily available. However, black mustard seeds, like other members of the Brassica family, contain a compound called Sinigrin. This compound has been found to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and potentially antihistamine effects. However, these effects have been primarily studied in the context of larger Brassica family foods, like broccoli and cabbage, not specifically the mustard seed itself. (Reference: "The potential health benefits of the isothiocyanate sulforaphane: recent developments" - European Journal of Nutrition, 2020) On the list of foods with high histamine content, mustard is indirectly listed as it is often made with vinegar, which has high histamine content. It is important to mention that most prepared mustard products are blends that include ingredients like vinegar or wine, which may contribute more to histamine levels than the mustard seed itself. Contrarily, the fact that mustard seeds might have potential anti-inflammatory and antihistaminic properties does not, however, make them a solution for histamine issues, as their composition, when included in foods, may be affected or altered by other high histamine components. To conclude, while the mustard seed itself does not appear to have high histamine content or function as a histamine liberator directly, its use in foods, particularly when prepared with or accompanied by high-histamine ingredients, actually can affect histamine levels in the body. As for the direct impact of black mustard seeds on histamine levels, the research is not yet substantial enough to be conclusive. Hence, the statement: "This product has not been researched well enough to publish any informations, our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon" applies.
