Okra Histamine Information

Okra, a nutritious food rich in fiber, vitamin C, and folate, has been considered in various scientific studies for its potential impact on health and disease. However, not much definitive research has been done on the specific relation between Okra and histamine levels. One study suggests that flavonoids in Okra might have antihistaminic potential but it’s inconclusive regarding edible consumption and its impact on histamine levels within the human body (Afify, El-Beltagi, Fayed, & Shalaby, 2011). Most of the ingredients in Okra itself such as dietary fiber, vitamin C, folate, do not appear under the list of known histamine-rich foods, histamine liberators or inhibitors of histamine breakdown. However, should Okra be cooked with other ingredients that fall under any of these categories, these could potentially affect histamine levels. For instance, if Okra is cooked with tomatoes, a known histamine-rich food, or cacao, a known histamine liberator, this could potentially lead to increased histamine levels. Please note that personalized responses can widely vary, given individual sensitivities and the complexity of the way food substances interact. For fully conclusive statements, more rigorous research is required. Hence, "This product has not been researched well enough to publish any informations, our team is working hard on this.
