Yes, flax seeds are low histamine. Not only that, but they’re a rich source of anti-inflammatory omega 3 fats and dietary fiber. In fact, it’s flax seeds’ high fiber content that makes them such a great plant-based replacement for eggs, along with chia seeds. Most people tend to eat flax seeds in the form of flax meal or flax powder, as the seeds are surrounded by a durable coating that isn’t very easily broken by the teeth nor broken down in the digestive tract. Because flax seeds also contain an estrogen-regulating phytochemical, if you’re having any issues with hormonal imbalance, flax meal is a great low histamine addition to your diet. Note that if you’ve ever had a reaction to nuts or seeds in the past, you should take caution in reintroducing flax seeds.
