Lentils Histamine Information

Lentils are part of the legume family, which includes other foods like peas, chickpeas, and beans. These types of foods are known to be high in protein and fiber, beneficial for heart health, and can aid in weight loss. But to address the query on its impact on histamine level, there is limited direct research. It is essential to note that legumes, in general, have been associated with being a histamine liberator, which means they may stimulate the release of histamine in the body. However, this doesn't mean they contain histamine within. The histamine liberation can provoke intolerance-like symptoms in people sensitive to histamine. A study based on fermented foods involving lentils indicated that the process of fermentation can lead to an increase in the histamine content of the food, but consumption of non-fermented lentils has not been strongly associated with histamine response or intolerance (1). Individual reactions can vary significantly between people with histamine intolerance. Some individuals may handle lentils without problem while others may react. Therefore, it may be useful to maintain a balanced diet and assess individual responses to foods.
