Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)High
Nutmeg is among the strongest spice liberators — it supplies no histamine but triggers release, and the effect shows up at culinary doses.
- SalicylateModerate
- GlutenPossible
spice blends can contain wheat flour or starch as an anti-caking or bulking agent, so they may carry gluten. A single pure spice or a certified gluten-free blend avoids this gluten risk.
