Is mint sauce dash diet-compatible?

Watch for

Salicylate C, and it is the reason to be careful. Mint is one of the most salicylate-dense culinary herbs going, and mint sauce only grades moderate because it is diluted and eaten by the spoon. A generous puddle beside the lamb, on top of a day that already included tea, herbs and tomato, closes that gap quickly / The histamine and sulfite grades belong to the vinegar. Histamine B, histamine liberation C and sulfite B all appear here and none of them appear on fresh mint. If a mint sauce reaction reads as flushing, a blocked nose or a headache rather than the itch or rash of a salicylate response, the vinegar is the more likely culprit / Gluten grades A, but check which vinegar. Traditional British mint sauce is made with malt vinegar, which is brewed from barley, and Coeliac UK stopped listing barley malt vinegar products as suitable for coeliacs in January 2021 unless they are specifically labelled gluten free. A version made with wine or cider vinegar removes the question entirely / FODMAPs B and excess fructose B are sugar, and the sugar varies wildly by product. A sharp homemade sauce is barely sweetened, a supermarket jar can be considerably sweeter, and mint jelly is a different food again: it is set with sugar and grades nothing like this / Mint reaches most people from several directions at once, through gum, toothpaste, after-dinner mints and tea, so the sauce is rarely the whole salicylate story on a day when it caused trouble
