Broccolini Histamine Information

Broccolini, also known as baby broccoli, is a green vegetable similar to broccoli but with smaller florets and longer, thin stalks. Despite its close relation to broccoli, available research does not highlight a direct influence of broccolini on histamine levels in the body. The impact of its consumption in conjunction with histamine intolerance remains relatively understudied. However, examining its components and relatives, we can speculate its potential effects. Broccolini is rich in vitamin C and quercetin, which have been associated with the regulation of histamine. Vitamin C may help lower histamine levels in the body, while quercetin, which is a type of flavonoid, inhibits the production and release of histamine from certain immune cells (1). While there's no direct link between broccolini and histamine, some factors might influence histamine levels. Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli contain fiber that aids in gut health. The health of the gut microbiome plays a crucial role in histamine regulation as certain bacteria strains are capable of reducing histamine levels while others might increase it (2). Other ingredients which are served along with broccolini like vinegar or cheese from the high histamine food group or cocoa and nuts from the histamine liberators group may have an additive histamine impact. Additionally, certain food additives and preservation methods used in packaged broccolini may potentially increase histamine levels if they are used. Thus, the impact of eating broccolini on histamine levels might be highly variable depending on the individual's sensitivity, gut health, and the specifics of the food preparation. It is recommended for those with histamine intolerance to work closely with a dietitian or nutritionist who specializes in this area. However, the ultimate understanding of how broccolini impacts histamine levels would require more targeted research. Until then, "This product has not been researched well enough to publish any informations, our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon". References: (1) Johnston, C. S. (1996).
