Thyme FAQ
Table of Contents
Is thyme high in histamine?
No, thyme is not high in histamine. Histamine is a compound that is involved in local immune responses and it can also act as a neurotransmitter. Histamine is generally not included in the nutrient content of foods in databases since it varies widely even in the same foods based on factors like ripeness and freshness. However, it's worth noting that as a herb, thyme is typically used in small amounts and therefore the amount of histamine it might contribute to a meal is likely to be minimal.
Is thyme low fodmap?
Yes, thyme is low in FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols). These are specific types of carbohydrates that are not fully absorbed in the gut and can trigger symptoms in individuals with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Since thyme is generally used as a spice or a seasoning in small amounts, it is considered safe for a low FODMAP diet.
Does thyme increase estrogen?
No, thyme does not increase estrogen. Some herbs and plants contain compounds known as phytoestrogens which can have estrogen-like effects in the body, potentially slightly increasing estrogen activity in the body but thyme is not known to be a significant source of phytoestrogens. The relationship between diet and hormone balances in the body can be very complex and individual, so if you have specific concerns about hormone levels, it is recommended to discuss these with a healthcare professional.
Is thyme keto?
Yes, thyme is keto-friendly. It is an herb that contains nearly zero carbohydrates. Specifically, a teaspoon of fresh thyme has only about 0.2 grams of carbs, which is negligible compared to the daily recommended limit of 20 to 50 grams on a keto diet.
Thyme alternatives?
If you are out of thyme or are cooking for someone who is allergic, there are several alternatives you can use. Oregano, marjoram, and savory have somewhat similar flavor profiles. For dishes where thyme is a key ingredient, herbes de Provence or Italian seasoning mixtures can be used as they typically contain thyme amongst the other herbs.
Is thyme gluten-free?
Yes, thyme is a naturally gluten-free herb. It does not contain wheat, barley, or rye, which are the grains that typically contain gluten. However, if you're buying pre-packaged thyme, it's always a good idea to read labels to make sure it hasn't been processed in a facility that also processes gluten-containing grains, which could lead to cross-contamination.
