Dill: low in histamine and salicylate. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
Dill contains no histamine. Used raw with fish and in pickle jars: the brine is the part worth watching, not the dill, which is water and fibre rather than protein. Herbs are among the few things on this axis that can be used freely, and what SIGHI publishes for them is a compatibility rating rather than a content.
