Intolerances
- SalicylateHigh
- NickelHigh
- OxalatesHigh
nuts and seeds are among the highest-oxalate foods, so keep portions small if you form calcium-oxalate stones. Eating them with a calcium source helps bind oxalates in the gut before they're absorbed.
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Moderate
walnuts, cashews and peanuts especially can act as histamine liberators, and any nut develops histamine when it is old, rancid or poorly stored. Choose fresh nuts and avoid rancid ones to limit histamine.
