I have not seen any evidence about the amine levels of these items. Have you? I’d love to add this data to my amine master list. I plan on doing elimination diet type tests on the ingredients and adding them as I can. Many are wild foods that I am working to supplement into my diet as part of my passion for foraging, and for finding other low amine foods.
If you know the data already, or have done the tests, your comments would be very appreciated.
- Amarynth
- Black mustard leaves / flowers
- Blue elderberry flowers or berries
- Bracken Fern
- Bragg’s Amino Acids
- Bull thistle
- Cat’s ear
- Cattail
- Chickweed
- Daisy leaves / buds / flowers
- Dandelion
- Dock (curly or broad leaf)
- False shamrock
- Flax Seeds / Flax Oil
- Garlic mustard
- Gooseberry
- Grapeseed oil (thought it was low in amines, but now unsure. I have not reacted to it thus far, however. But I will be doing a test on it shortly, as it is the primary oil I use)
- Huckleberry
- Indian Plum
- Ladyfern
- Mallow & “Mallow Peas”
- Miners lettuce
- Nettles
- Nipplewort
- Oregon grape

- River spinach (kangkong) - HIGH (resolved 2/12/2012)
- Shepherd’s purse
- Sorrell
- Sow thistle
- Sweet pea shoots / flowers / buds
- Thimbleberry
- Thimbleberry shoots
- Tonic Water
- Wall lettuce
- Wild spinach
- Wintercress
flax seeds are definitely high in amines, wild spinach hmmm, well I know normal spinach is high ahah
Just found out that river spinach is, indeed, high in amines. Super bummer!
have you seen this website?
http://www.lowoxalate.info/recipes.html
it deals with oxalates which i really know nothing about but it has this great spread sheet that catergorizes food according to high oxalates and salicylates and also gluten free/dairy free and SCD diet, now we just need to merge your spreadsheet with the amine list…and we’ll see just how many foods are left which are safe to eat!
That’s handy! I wouldn’t merge the sheets myself, since I don’t have problems with oxalates or sals, but that’s a handy resource to have, nonetheless! I will have to add a link to it.
Flaxseeds are definately high in amines. In addition, is it possible for you to identify the salicylate levels in your recipes too, as i am sensative to both.
Thanks for the tip on amines. I do not identify sals as well because it’s not my specialty, and there are other sites that do sals and amine diets. I do not want to make the amine-free diet any more complex than it needs to be, for those who need only omit amines. You might try the FAILSAFE diet, though! http://realfailsafemeals.blogspot.com/
