What to know about apricot
Fresh apricots are anti-inflammatory and clean on histamine content, sulfites and oxalates, yet they still trip up a lot of people because they hit three separate triggers at once: they are a histamine liberator, they are high in salicylates, and they are high in sorbitol, a polyol FODMAP. That combination is the stone-fruit signature, and it is why apricots can cause hives, flushing, an itchy mouth or bloating even when the fruit itself is not high in histamine.
Watch for
- Histamine liberator, a hallmark of stone fruit, so it can trigger flushing, hives, headaches or an itchy mouth even though the apricot is low in histamine itself
- High in salicylates, a frequent trigger if you react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods
- High in sorbitol (a polyol), which makes fresh apricots a high FODMAP fruit and a common cause of gas and bloating in larger portions
