This carpaccio is the perfect starter for warm days or a light dinner. It proves that the simplest ingredients often offer the greatest enjoyment when the quality is right. Crisp zucchini meets nutty hemp seeds and the delicate aroma of verjus.
Who says carpaccio always has to be meat? Our plant-based version made from paper-thin zucchini slices is not only a visual highlight but also a true blessing for your gut. Zucchini is extremely hydrating, low in calories, and highly tolerated according to the SIGHI list (Level 0). Paired with hemp seeds as a low-histamine protein source, you’ll start your Happy Hista Life with pure lightness.
Ingredients
2 medium Organic Zucchini: (Firm and fresh, SIGHI 0).
3 tbsp Shelled Organic Hemp Seeds: (Nutty flavor, rich in Omega-3).
3 tbsp Organic Olive Oil: (Extra virgin, high quality).
2 tbsp Sour Verjus: (The low-histamine acid alternative to lemon, SIGHI 0).
1 handful Fresh Basil or Parsley: (Finely torn, SIGHI 0).
1 pinch Sea Salt: (Pure, non-iodized).
Optional: A few flakes of young Gouda (if tolerated) or simply enjoy plain.
Preparation
Slice: Wash the zucchini and use a mandoline to cut into paper-thin, almost translucent slices.
Arrange: Lay the slices in a fan shape on a large flat plate.
Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, verjus, and sea salt. Drizzle evenly over the zucchini.
Topping: Generously sprinkle the hemp seeds over the carpaccio.
Garnish: Finish with the fresh herbs.
Rest: Let it sit for about 5 minutes so the zucchini can absorb the flavors. Serve immediately while fresh!
Holistic Support: Forever Active Pro-B™ & Absorbent-C
A symptom-free lifestyle with HIT requires more than just the right food. We recommend:
Forever Active Pro-B™ (Art. 610): The foundation for histamine breakdown is in the gut. These probiotics support a healthy microbiome and help your body maintain balance.
Forever Absorbent-C™ (Art. 048): Vitamin C is a natural antihistamine. Bonded with oat bran, it is released slowly—ideal for consistent support of the DAO enzyme.
Why this Recipe is Low-Histamine Friendly
Zucchini: A basic staple with zero histamine potential (SIGHI 0).
Hemp Seeds: Unlike many nuts, hemp seeds do not contain biogenic amines and are very safe for HIT.
Verjus: Since it is pressed from unripe grapes and not fermented, it provides the perfect acidity without the risk of being a liberator.
