Apricots (fresh)

May be problematic for sensitive individuals.

Suitable

Most people with histamine intolerance tolerate this food well.

Fresh apricots are classified as grade 0 according to the SIGHI list, which means that they are generally very well tolerated and are not considered to be a source of histamine or a histamine releaser. Although it is safe to eat them fresh, it is necessary to ensure that the fruits are not overripe or showing signs of spoilage, when the content of biogenic amines may increase slightly. Individual tolerance may vary, but most people with histamine intolerance do not cause any problems unless it is the dried form, which tends to be problematic due to sulfites.
