Tomato concentrate: moderate in salicylate; low in histamine. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- SalicylateModerate
Tomato concentrate is tomato with the water taken out, so it carries more salicylate per gram than the fresh fruit, not less. It sits with the sauce and the powder, and below sun-dried tomato, which is dried further still.
