Pine nuts

More species, some may be more difficult to tolerate

Caution

May cause symptoms in more sensitive people. Track your own reaction.

Pine nuts may contain moderate amounts of histamine. However, with pine nuts, their absolute freshness is essential, because due to their high fat content, they are subject to rapid oxidation (gutting), which can cause a non-specific pseudoallergic reaction in sensitive individuals, although the level of histamine itself remains low.
