French fries

Fries themselves (potatoes) are low in histamine. The real problem with French fries is primarily the technological process of frying and deep-frying, which in general has been proven to increase the level of histamine in food, as well as the frequent use of purchased frozen semi-finished products, which usually contain unsuitable additives, stabilizers or flavor enhancers (e.g. glutamates), which can cause a reaction. From the point of view of a low-histamine diet, it is therefore ideal and recommended to prepare homemade fries, ideally by baking them in the oven in fresh, tolerated oil or lard.
