This dish is the creation of a New Yorker whose anscestors were from Ecuador. Quinoa was an everyday staple in their home, and served as the base for many meals. Inspired by the nutritious and versatile nature of quinoa, they set out to create a breakfast dish that was both flavor-packed and low in histamine, and so the Golden Quinoa Porridge was born.

Why suitable for low histanmine diet

Golden Quinoa Porridge is suitable for a low histamine diet because it uses quinoa, almond milk, and almonds which are all foods known to be low in histamine. Additionally, blueberries are one of the few fruits considered low in histamine. The use of maple syrup as a sweetener is also a safer choice for those with histamine intolerance, as other sweeteners like honey can have high levels of histamine.

Tipps

Rinse Your Quinoa

Quinoa has a natural coating called saponin that can make it taste bitter. Thoroughly rinse quinoa before cooking to remove this coating.

Adjust Sweetness

A tablespoon of maple syrup provides a mild sweetness. Feel free to adjust the amount to suit your taste.

Experiment with Toppings

While blueberries and almonds are classic toppings, feel free to experiment with other low-histamine foods that you enjoy.

Store Leftovers Properly

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, add a splash of almond milk to moisten, then gently heat in the microwave.
