Pistachios Histamine Information

Pistachios, like many other nuts, have been studied for their impact on histamine level. Some scientific reports suggest that most nuts, including pistachios, are low in histamine, but they could potentially delay the breakdown of histamine within the body. This is because nuts, in general, have been known to have the potential to inhibit diamine oxidase, an enzyme that helps in breaking down and metabolizing histamine within the digestive tract. However, there is no concrete evidence to classify pistachios as histamine liberators. Histamine liberators are usually foods or substances which encourage the release of histamine in the body, irrespective of their own histamine content. Therefore, while pistachios itself might not be high in histamine, in people with compromised histamine metabolism, their consumption could result in an elevated histamine level due to this delay in breakdown. It is also important to note that individual reactions can vary greatly. While some individuals with histamine intolerance may respond negatively to eating pistachios, others may not experience any harmful effects. Currently, specific properties of pistachios and their potential to lower histamine are not widely researched areas. The effects of pistachios, and nuts in general, on histamine activity, largely remain a topic open for further scientific investigations. References: Aidan JC, et al.
