Is histamine in tomatoes partially or completely destroyed by heating?
Asker: Marcel, age 74
Answer
Dear Marcel,
Tomatoes do indeed contain a lot of histamine, just like in spinach, sauerkraut, beets and mushrooms. Bell peppers, rhubarb and beans also contain a fair amount of histamine.
However, heating will not change the amount of histamine much.
