The Low Histamine Chef

Hi there,

I don't personally eat canned/packaged beans unless I absolutely have to. While I don't believe they'd cause a huge problem in the short term, I certainly wouldn't use them on a regular basis. I'd rather spend my histamine allowance on something more fun. I know it's a huge hassle soaking and cooking when you're trying to put together a quick work lunch...

Re packaged salads: I don't personally eat them because they're pumped full of nitrogen. Also studies on histamine levels in packaged sprouts aren't encouraging. If you're living in the states, packaged salads are soaked in chlorine baths (even the organic ones).

You have such amazing information.  I knew that salads in bag were not a good idea in general due to molds etc, but I had no idea that even organic lettuce was soaked in chlorine.  How disgusting.  Will certainly remember that now.
