Note about this food
Although beef itself does not naturally contain histamine, standard beef is typically aged for one to two weeks to enhance its tenderness and flavor. This aging process allows histamine to build up, which can trigger symptoms in sensitive individuals. For this reason, it's often better to choose meats that are sold fresh and with minimal aging, such as lamb, veal, or poultry, which generally have lower histamine levels and are better tolerated.
