Rutabagas Histamine Information

Rutabagas, also known as Swedes, are a type of cruciferous vegetable that are related to cabbage and turnips. The exact impact of eating rutabagas on histamine levels is not clearly defined, as enough research on this specific product is not available. Therefore, we need to consider the broader category of vegetables they belong to. Cruciferous vegetables, which include a wide variety of food items like cabbage, can have an impact on histamine levels. They are known to possess Histamine Degrading Enzyme activity, implicating that they can aid in the process of breaking down or lowering histamine levels in the body (McGee, H. (2007). "On Food and Cooking". Scribner). However, it is important to note that while these vegetables are typically low in histamine, they can become high in histamine if they are not stored or prepared properly, or if they've begun to decay. Decayed or fermented vegetables can contain high amounts of histamine as bacteria convert the amino acid histidine into histamine during the fermentation or decay process. Please bear in mind that the impact of foods on histamine levels can vary greatly based on individual tolerances and sensitivity to histamine, their gut health and the overall diet composition. Thus, the impact of rutabagas on histamine levels in the human body may be dependent on the individual, their overall diet, and how the rutabagas are prepared and stored. This product has not been researched well enough to publish any specific information on the impact of rutabagas on histamine levels. Our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon.
