Poke Bowl Histamine Information

A Poke Bowl, a popular Hawaiian dish, often includes raw seafood, fresh fruits, and vegetables. It must be noted that ingredients used in these bowls can significantly impact the histamine level. Primarily, the main component of many Poke Bowls, fish, especially when raw or undercooked, can have high histamine levels. A study showed that raw tuna, a common component of Poke Bowls, was associated with an increase in histamine levels (Arrieta MC, et al., 2016). Some Poke Bowls may include garnishes such as pickled vegetables, which contain vinegar. Vinegar is a high-histamine product and can potentially trigger histamine responses (Maintz L, Novak N, 2007). In the case of green tea or energy drinks, often served with Poke Bowls, they could delay the breakdown of histamine, potentially exacerbating the effects of the histamine in the meal (Maintz L, Novak N, 2007). Moreover, if a Poke Bowl contains citrus fruits or pineapples, it might be that they promote the release of histamine, being histamine liberators (Jarvinen KM, et al., 1999). While the components of a Poke Bowl can individually give rise to high histamine levels, it's crucial to recognize that not all ingredients found in a Poke Bowl will necessarily raise histamine levels. As the combination and preparation of ingredients can change, the final impact on histamine levels can vary. Please note that the precise way in which eating a Poke Bowl impacts histamine levels will greatly depend on the specific ingredients and their proportions used in the dish.
