Hearts Of Palm Histamine Information

Hearts of Palm is a vegetable harvested from the inner core of certain palm trees. It is commonly used in salads and other dishes. Information on the direct impact of Hearts of Palm on histamine levels is not readily available on the web. However, looking into the constituents of Hearts of Palm, this vegetable is a good source of fiber, protein, potassium, calcium, vitamin C, iron, zinc, and copper. None of these have been implicated in direct histamine activity. Although it is necessary to note that high amounts of Vitamin C have been found to aid in breaking down histamine in the body, thereby potentially reducing histamine levels (Nutrients, 2018). Whether the quantity of Vitamin C in Hearts of Palm can have a significant effect is not conclusively proven. Hearts of Palm is not listed under common histamine-rich foods or histamine liberators, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI) and Swiss Interest Group Histamine Intolerance (SIGHI). Its histamine activity can only be accurately guaranteed from a histamine intolerance perspective if prepared and preserved appropriately, considering that food processing methods like canning or fermentation, often used for Hearts of Palm, have been shown to increase histamine content in foods (Food Chemistry, 2012). 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.
