Yes, chia seeds are low histamine. They’re also very fiber-rich and high in protein, and known as a good source of anti-inflammatory omega 3 fats. The tiny seeds are harvested from a small flowering plant native to modern-day Mexico, and are often used as a thickener for stews and sauces, or even to make chia pudding. For millennia they’ve been consumed throughout North America, serving as a great source of phosphorous, manganese, and magnesium, and a plant-based complete protein. If you’ve ever reacted to a nut or seed in the past, take caution in reintroducing chia seeds.
