What to know about blueberry
Blueberries are one of the cleaner berries: anti-inflammatory, low in histamine, oxalates and fructose, which is why they earn their antioxidant reputation. The one real caveat is salicylates, where they grade high, so "are blueberries high in salicylates" is the question worth answering. For most people the FODMAP load only matters by the bowlful, making a small handful a genuinely gentle choice.
Watch for
- High in salicylates, the single meaningful trigger here, relevant if you react to aspirin-type foods with itching, hives or reflux
- Low FODMAP in a small handful but the FODMAP total climbs with a large bowl, so portion is the lever
- Otherwise clean: low in histamine, oxalates, excess fructose and free of gluten and dairy
