Ingredient notes

What to know about strawberry

Strawberries are anti-inflammatory and clean on most triggers, but they release histamine and are high in salicylates. That is a common reason they cause hives, itching or flushing even when other fruit is fine.

Watch for

  • Histamine liberator, so it can set off flushing, hives or headaches even though the berry itself is low in histamine
  • High in salicylates, a frequent trigger if you react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods
  • Moderate FODMAP by volume, so a large bowl can bother a sensitive gut
