This porridge is aptly suitable for a low histamine diet because it avoids high-histamine and histamine-liberating foods. Quinoa, blueberries, raw honey, vanilla extract, and almond milk are all low-histamine foods. Consuming a meal like this can drastically decrease histamine levels, relieving symptoms in individuals sensitive to histamine.

Tipps

Rinse Quinoa Thoroughly

Quinoa has a natural coating, called saponin, that can make it taste bitter or soapy. It's always a good idea to rinse quinoa under cold water before cooking it to remove this coating.

Fluff with a Fork

After the quinoa has cooked, let it sit for a few minutes and then fluff it with a fork. This helps release any additional steam, making the quinoa more fluffy and light.

Experiment with Toppings

Feel free to experiment with various toppings. A dollop of almond butter or a sprinkling of chia seeds adds more texture and nutritional value.

Store Leftovers Properly

If you have any leftovers, make sure to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay good for about 2-3 days. You can reheat them in the microwave when you're ready to enjoy them again.
