Is Pea Pasta High or Low in Histamine?

Peas are okay for me. That means pea pasta too.

Many people wonder if peas are high in histamine or is it low in histamine.

On the SIGHI List: Green peas, green split peas, snow peas, and yellow split peas are listed as 1 – tolerated. Pulses (dry peas, cow peas, pigeon peas) are listed as 2 – poorly tolerated.

On our trusted Histamine Intolerance Food List, we’ve listed peas as yellow - foods that are medium histamine, or where there is debate about histamine levels = 🤔

These are not to be mistaken with chickpeas, which do seem to be much higher in histamine and oof do not agree with me personally.

Remember, everyone is different and lists do vary.

Then we carried out a poll on my Instagram story to see what my followers think. We asked our thousands of histamine intolerant Instagram followers - are peas high histamine or are peas low histamine?
