Zabaglione Dessert Histamine Information

Zabaglione is a traditional Italian dessert often made from egg yolks, sugar, and a sweet wine, typically Marsala. The main sources of histamine in this dessert can therefore potentially come from the wine, as certain wines can indeed have high histamine content. For instance, red wines were found to have the highest concentrations of histamine among tested alcoholic beverages, according to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (1). However, there are no specific studies available examining the effect of Zabaglione dessert on histamine levels in the body. Furthermore, it's important to note that the Marsala wine used in Zabaglione is not red but rather a fortified wine, commonly of a sweeter variety. Due to the lack of specific nutritional analysis of Marsala wine and its histamine content, we cannot make a definitive conclusion about its role in supporting or increasing histamine levels. Egg yolks, another key ingredient in Zabaglione, do not typically contain high levels of histamine nor are they known to be histamine liberators, based on current nutritional databases and literature. Sugar, the last main ingredient, also does not inherently contain a lot of histamines, nor does it release histamines, as per the current scientific studies and databases. Therefore, while we cannot definitively conclude without direct studies on Zabaglione dessert itself, the main ingredient that might potentially contribute to any increase in histamine level is the Marsala wine used in the preparation. If eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet, along with a consideration of one's individual tolerance levels, this dessert could likely be integrated into a low-histamine diet. 1.
