Egg
Other names eggs
Egg: moderate in histamine. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Moderate
A whole egg is a white and a yolk, and both are on this axis: the WHITE is the classic liberator of the elimination protocols, the yolk sits lower. What follows from it is practical: a dish built on whites - meringue, mousse, an egg-white omelette - carries more of the reason than a whole egg does, and a yolk-only sauce carries less.
