Red cabbage
Red cabbage: low in histamine, FODMAPs and oligosaccharides. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
Red cabbage carries no meaningful histamine and does not liberate any. Fresh vegetables are the reliable ground on this axis - it is fermenting them, or letting them sit, that changes the answer.

- FODMAPsLow
Red cabbage is low at a normal serving and stops being low above one - the threshold is around about a cup shredded. That is the shape of this whole axis: it publishes serving limits rather than verdicts, because the fructan or polyol load scales with how much you eat and there is no amount that is free.

- OligosaccharidesFODMAPsLow
Red cabbage answers like white cabbage - the pigment is an anthocyanin and has nothing to do with carbohydrate. Raw in a slaw or braised, it stays low in oligosaccharides either way.
