Gooseberry: low in salicylate. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- SalicylateLow
Low, though it climbs when underripe — gooseberries are often picked sour and firm, which is the higher-salicylate state.
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)None
Gooseberries are eaten cooked or fully ripe, in season. A fruit offers little protein and no standing time, which is what this axis counts — drying, canning or fermenting would make a different food of it.
