Cucumber & histamine FAQ
Is Cucumber high in histamine?
Low in histamine — refreshing and safe. Fresh cucumber is low in histamine and a cooling, hydrating addition to salads and snacks. Just keep it fresh rather than pickled — pickling is a form of fermentation that would turn a safe food into a high-histamine one.
Can I eat Cucumber on a low-histamine diet?
Yes. Cucumber is considered low-histamine and is generally well tolerated on a low-histamine diet, as long as it is fresh and not fermented or aged.
