Blini Histamine Information

Blinis are a type of traditional Russian pancake, often made from buckwheat flour, wheat flour, eggs, and milk. Looking individually at these ingredients, it’s possible to deduce the impact on histamine levels in the body. It’s essential to mention that the information pertains to the ingredients that make up the blini, not the blini as a whole product. Buckwheat, by itself, is not known to have a high histamine content or to be a histamine liberator. It is often recommended as a safe alternative for individuals with a histamine intolerance. Therefore, eating blinis made primarily from buckwheat is not likely to significantly raise histamine levels in your body (1). Wheat flour, on the other hand, might not significantly impact histamine levels directly but it does have potential to cause issues in individuals with a gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, which can indirectly affect histamine (2). Eggs and milk are also generally low in histamine but can be triggers for some individuals, potentially leading to an increase in histamine levels via an immune reaction (3). In conclusion, blinis themselves don't appear to have a particularly strong impact on histamine levels directly, but individual sensitivity to certain ingredients like wheat flour, eggs, or milk can play a role in histamine reactions. However, this product has not been researched well enough to conclude its overall impact, our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon. References: 1. Maintz, L., & Novak, N. (2007).
