Additional Informations
Nasi Padang, a popular Indonesian cuisine, is known for its variety of flavors, spices, and ingredients. It usually includes elements such as beef rendang, chili shrimp, duck egg curry, fried chicken, and various vegetables accompanied by rice.
Typically, Nasi Padang does not contain foods with high histamine content as listed such as red wine, ripened cheese, vinegar, yeast-containing baked goods, smoked meat, or fish products. Therefore, it may not significantly increase histamine levels.
However, several ingredients in Nasi Padang may have an impact on histamine levels. Chili contains biogenic amines, like histamines, which could potentially trigger histamine intolerance in sensitive individuals(1). Additionally, the spices used can be considered as histamine liberators, contributing to the release of histamine stored in the body's cells, although specific data on this topic is currently limited(2).
The dietary glutamate found in some spices can also act as a histamine liberator. Furthermore, certain vegetables and eggs often included in Nasi Padang dishes may act as histamine liberators or slow down the breakdown of histamine(3).
On the other hand, the inclusion of rice, a low histamine food, may help control histamine levels. However, this needs further validation through more research. Currently, the impact Nasi Padang has on histamine levels is not clearly defined due to the variation in its ingredients and the lack of specific academic research on this dish.
