Additional Informations
A Po' Boy is a traditional sandwich from Louisiana typically consisting of meat, commonly roast beef or fried seafood, and often shrimp, crawfish, fish, oysters or crab. The bread is typically lightly crunchy, and the sandwich is usually garnished with pickles, mayonnaise, and other condiments.
The impact of consuming a Po' Boy on histamine levels can vary and largely depends on its specific ingredients. Seafood, particularly shellfish and smoked fish, are known to have high histamine content. If the Po' Boy sandwich includes these elements, it represents a high-histamine food which can contribute to an increase in histamine levels. On the contrary, roast beef is generally low in histamine, so a roast beef Po' Boy might be a relatively lower histamine option.
Key ingredients of a Po' Boy like the condiments (mayonnaise and pickles) contain vinegar, another high histamine food, while the yeast in the bread represents a potential source of histamine. Meanwhile, tomatoes are high in histamine and can be a part of the sandwich or its dressings, adding to the cumulative histamine content.
However, without definitive studies conducted specifically on the histamine levels in a Po' Boy, we must rely on the individual ingredients' contributions to histamine levels. The overall impact on a person's histamine levels would then depend on individual tolerance and the quantity of food consumed.
