Radicchio Histamine Information

Radicchio, a leaf-chicory often used in Italian cuisine, is not directly noted in scientific literature as affecting histamine levels or being a histamine liberator. Its composition generally consists of water, dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins, especially vitamin K and A. Certain leafy greens such as spinach are known to have moderate histamine levels, and while radicchio shares similar characteristics, there is no concrete evidence connecting the consumption of radicchio to changes in histamine levels. However, it's noteworthy that radicchio, like many vegetables, contains flavonoids, which may influence histamine levels as they have demonstrated antihistamine properties in some studies (Kawai M, Hirano T, Higa S, et al., Inhibition of histamine secretion by flavonoids, 1992, PMID: 1362956). All that considered, the impact of eating radicchio on histamine levels remains unclear due to a lack of specific research on the subject. This product has not been researched well enough to publish any specific information on histamine impacts, our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon.
