What to know about olive

Table olives are one of the highest-salicylate foods on the plate, and they are also high in oxalate, so they can trigger reactions even when the olive oil pressed from them is clean. Because they are cured in brine and often fermented, they pick up a moderate histamine load too, which is why a bowl of olives can bring on itching, flushing or a headache for salicylate- and histamine-sensitive people.

Watch for

  • Very high in salicylates, a leading reason olives cause itching, flushing or hives if you react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods
  • High in oxalate, worth watching if you are managing kidney stones or oxalate load, and separate from the salicylate issue
  • Brined and often fermented, so cured olives carry moderate histamine that low-histamine eaters can feel even though fresh produce does not bother them
  • Some green olives are held in sulfite-treated brine, a moderate trigger if you react to sulfites in wine or dried fruit
