Additional Informations
Grenadine syrup is typically made from pomegranate juice, sugar, and water. Due to these ingredients, it demonstrates a low-to-negligible histamine content and is generally not linked with increased histamine release.
Pomegranate, the primary component, hardly contains histamine and is not known as a histamine liberator. Instead, pomegranate has been reported to have health benefits, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic properties (1). Sugar and water, the other components, do not directly impact histamine levels in the body (2).
However, it's important to note that everyone's body may react differently. This product has not been researched well enough to publish any specific information on its effect on the histamine level in humans. As such, individual responses may vary, thus it's suggested to observe your reaction and consult with a healthcare professional if necessary.
Foods and substances with high histamine content such as red wine, long-ripened cheese, yogurt and buttermilk, or products containing vinegar can significantly increase histamine levels (3). Equally, certain foods and substances can delay the breakdown of histamine or act as histamine liberators, triggering its release. Cocoa products, some types of fruit, mushrooms, walnuts and hazelnuts, and invertebrate seafood fall into these categories (4).
Please note that information on the impact of certain food products on histamine levels often varies, warrants further research, and should be consumed based on personal tolerance and medical advice.
