Dried Fruits
Similar to fermentation, the process of drying and packaging fruits can increase the levels of histamine in these foods. This is because specific bacteria strains would grow quickly and convert amino acids to this substance. Thus, if you are at risk of histamine intolerance, it is better to avoid the purchase of dried figs, dates, prunes, raisins, and other fruits. Instead, go for fresh products as they are low in histamine and high in many other essential nutrients and vitamins. [2]
