Serving size, prep, and portion notes for 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
