Poppyseed
Other names poppy seed, poppy seeds
Poppyseed: low in histamine. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
Poppy seed is a dry seed, and a dry seed produces no amines - bacteria need water to work. Rancidity does not change that: it is the oil reacting with oxygen, which yields aldehydes and off-flavours rather than amines - a good reason to smell before eating, and not a histamine one.
