Dried Mango Histamine Information

Dried mango, being a fruit product, has varying influence on histamine levels. However, it isn't specifically known as either a high-histamine food, a histamine liberator or a food that delays histamine breakdown. The main constituent of dried mangoes is mangoes themselves. Mangoes have been found in some cases to contribute to the liberation of histamine in the body, though the scientific literature on this is limited [1]. Thus, it could be said that when consumed in large amounts, dried mango could potentially stimulate the release of histamine. Dried mangoes are often sweetened before the drying process and sugar itself does not contribute to histamine levels or act as a histamine liberator. However, certain preservatives or additives often used in processed foods like dried mango, such as sulfites, could potentially have the capacity to release histamine or inhibit DAO enzymes, which are responsible for histamine degradation [2]. It is important to note that the impact of food on histamine levels varies from person to person and depends on the individual's tolerance and sensitivity. Therefore, this does not necessarily mean that everyone who eats dried mango will experience an increase in histamine levels or symptoms of histamine intolerance. In conclusion, while dried mango isn't directly a high-histamine food, it may, due to its inherent composition and the additives potentially used in its processing, promote the release of histamine in sensitive individuals. More research is needed to accurately determine the impact of dried mango on histamine levels, as well as an understanding individual's histamine sensitivity for this specific food.
