cocoa mass

Pure ground cocoa nibs, also called cocoa liquor. Cocoa butter is a different product.

Unsuitable

This food is often poorly tolerated with histamine intolerance.

SIGHI recommends avoiding cocoa mass on a low-histamine diet. A study of cocoa liquor found other biogenic amines, but no histamine was detected in the samples tested.

The amine marker therefore does not mean that every cocoa mass product is high in histamine. Products differ, and so does individual tolerance.

Biogenic amines: May contain biogenic amines that can act similarly to histamine. learn more
