Intolerances

this food is naturally high in histamine and it climbs quickly as it ripens or once it is cut and browns. Eat it slightly under-ripe and never keep cut leftovers, which gain histamine fast.
- OxalatesHigh
this vegetable is high in oxalates, but boiling it and discarding the cooking water removes a large part of the oxalate. Eating it with a calcium source further lowers oxalate absorption.
