Green Peas Histamine Information

Green peas are a versatile and nutritious food which forms an integral part of many dishes. Their relationship to histamine levels, as per the research, is relatively neutral. They are not high-histamine foods, neither they promote the release of histamine, also known as histamine liberators. However, it's important to note that everyone's body reacts differently and if you have a known sensitivity to green peas, you may still experience symptoms of histamine intolerance despite them being a low-histamine food. It's also noteworthy that green peas are rich in vitamin B6 and copper. Vitamin B6, which is a part of the B-vitamin complex, can aid in the breakdown of histamine in the body, potentially helping to lower histamine levels. While it's not a definitive cause and effect, the presence of Vitamin B6 in green peas may contribute in some way to the control of histamine levels. As for copper, it's used in the process of histamine degradation. While copper can't directly reduce histamine, it's necessary for the enzyme (diamine oxidase) that breaks down histamine. Therefore, while green peas are not explicitly researched as a histamine-reducing food, their nutritional content suggests that they may indirectly aid in histamine metabolism. References: 1.
