Additional Informations
Matzo, also known as matzah or matza, is a type of unleavened bread traditionally eaten during the Jewish feast of Passover. Its basic ingredients are flour and water, although some variations may include additional ingredients like eggs, fruit juice, or spices.
Considering the primary ingredients of matzo, it doesn't have a high histamine content. According to the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology (AOCD), flour and water, are generally low in histamine. Thus, there would be minimal effect, if any, on histamine levels after consumption under normal circumstances.
However, certain variations of Matzo might have different impacts. For instance, variations that includes any form of nuts or cocoa products are considered to be histamine liberators and could potentially lead to an increased release of histamine in the body.
Similarly, some types of matzo may contain additives or preservatives, which are also known to be histamine liberators. If such a variant of matzo is used, there may be an increased risk of histamine release leading to potential aggravation of histamine-related symptoms.
Specific research into the direct impact of matzo on histamine levels is currently lacking in the public domain, therefore a concrete statement regarding its impact can't be made.
