Paprika extract: 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
Paprika extract is the colour pressed from the same dried pepper as the spice, used by the drop rather than the spoon. Extraction leaves the plant's protein behind, and protein is what bacteria need to make histamine.
