Tipps

Choosing Whole Wheat Spaghetti

Whole wheat spaghetti is not only high in fiber but also is low in histamine. Make sure to cook it until it's just al dente - tender but still firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta can become mushy and lose its texture.

Steaming the Vegetables

Steaming is a great way to cook vegetables without losing their nutrients. It also helps to keep the histamine levels low. Use a steamer or a pot with a steaming basket and ensure the veggies remain bright and slightly crisp.

Using Olive Oil

Olive oil is a safe choice for a low-histamine diet, providing healthy fats and flavor. It also helps the body to absorb the fat-soluble vitamins from the vegetables.

Seasoning the Dish

Keeping seasonings simple helps control histamine levels. Sea salt is a good choice for adding flavor without adding histamines.

Storing Leftovers

Remember, for low-histamine meals, it's best to eat them as soon as possible. If you have leftovers, refrigerate and consume within 24 hours to maintain low histamine levels.

Adding Protein

For extra protein, consider adding some fresh-cooked chicken to the dish. Just remember to cook this just before serving to keep histamine levels low.
