Why suitable for low histanmine diet

Rice, one of the main ingredients in this pudding, is a low histamine food. Pure vanilla beans were used instead of vanilla extract to avoid potential histamine issues, and the sugar provides sweetness without adding histamines. Almond milk serves as a safer alternative to regular milk for this recipe. All these carefully chosen ingredients make this dessert suitable for a low histamine diet.

Use Short Grain Rice for Creamier Texture

Short grain rice varieties are best for pudding as they have a high starch content, which gives the pudding its creamy consistency. Long grain rice may result in a less creamy, more separate texture.

Don't Discard the Vanilla Bean

After scraping, don't throw the pod away. You can put it in a jar of sugar to create vanilla-infused sugar for other culinary uses.

Smooth or Chunky

For a smoother pudding, you can use an immersion blender to break down the rice a bit once it's cooked. If you prefer a chunky, more textured pudding, just leave it as is.

Be Patient While Cooking

Keep the heat low and stir regularly to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan. It might take a while, but the result will be worth it. Over time, the pudding will gradually thicken.

Try Adding Toppings

While this pudding is delicious on its own, you could also try adding some tolerated toppings. Consider fruits like blueberries or blackberries to add a different flavor and color to the pudding.
