Why suitable for low histanmine diet

Quinoa is a great choice for a low histamine diet as it's known to be low in histamine. It also provides a good source of protein and fiber. The usage of fresh blueberries makes this dish vibrant and delicious, and they’re also an excellent low histamine fruit option. The remainder of the ingredients, including almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup are also generally well tolerated.

1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

Tipps

Use a Fine Mesh Strainer

Don't skip rinsing the quinoa before cooking. This will remove its natural coating, called saponin, which can make it taste bitter or soapy. Use a fine mesh strainer to do this.

Pick Your Own Blueberries

If you happen to live near a location where you can pick your own blueberries, this can provide the freshest tasting topping for your porridge.

Store Leftovers in Airtight Container

If you have leftovers, make sure to store them in an airtight container and refrigerate. Quinoa porridge will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator.
