What to know about blackberry
Blackberries are a strongly anti-inflammatory berry, and unlike strawberries they are not a histamine trigger. What makes them a trigger food is salicylates: blackberries sit among the higher-salicylate fruits, and they are high in the polyol sorbitol, a FODMAP. So a big bowl can bring on itching, a stuffy nose or gut symptoms like bloating in salicylate-sensitive people, while those who react mainly to histamine usually tolerate them fine.
Watch for
- High in salicylates, one of the higher-salicylate berries, so a common trigger if you react to aspirin or salicylate-rich produce
- High in sorbitol, a polyol FODMAP that can cause bloating, wind or loose stools when you eat a generous portion
- Low in histamine and not a histamine liberator, so if you tolerate blackberries but not strawberries, histamine is probably not your issue
