Low Histamine Zucchini Hummus

This light, histamine-friendly hummus skips the usual citrus and sesame. Instead, it blends fresh zucchini with smooth hemp seed butter and a splash of apple cider vinegar for brightness. It’s quick to make, anti-inflammatory, and great for wraps, dipping, or spreading.

Ingredients Needed:

• 1 large zucchini: fresh, unpeeled, chopped.
• 1/2 cup hemp seed butter or white bean puree: adds creamy texture.
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar: replaces lemon.
• 1 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil: for flavor without raw garlic.
• 3/4 tsp fine salt: enhances taste.
• 1 tbsp filtered water: optional, to thin if needed.

How To Make Low Histamine Zucchini Hummus:

Blend Everything: Place chopped zucchini, hemp butter, vinegar, garlic oil, and salt into a high-speed blender.

Blend Until Smooth: Process on high until creamy. Stop before it warms up. Add 1 tbsp water if the blender needs help.

Taste & Adjust: Taste and adjust salt or vinegar. Avoid adding too much liquid or it will get watery.

Serve Immediately: Use a spatula to transfer to a bowl. Enjoy with raw veggies, low histamine crackers, or as a sandwich spread.

Recipe Tips:

• Use fresh zucchini only—avoid leftovers.
• Don’t over-blend or it may warm and change texture.
• Garlic-infused oil gives flavor without triggering histamine.
• Use a plunger or tamper to blend thick mixtures.

How to Store & Reheat:

• Room Temperature: Not recommended.
• Fridge: Store in airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freezer: Not ideal—zucchini will release too much water after thawing.
