    Histidine levels are highest in sunflower at 2.0%, followed by bean sprouts at 1.3% and carob and lupine at 1.2%. Many other foods like soy, jute, lentils and various beans contain between 0.8-1.1% histidine. While estimates say adults need 8-12 mg/kg/day of histidine, some experts believe this estimate is too low.

    reigns supreme at 2.0% histidine, followed by bean sprouts at 1.3, carob and
    lupine at 1.2, soy at 1.1, jute, lablab, lentils and sprouts, lima beans, pigeon
    pea, winged bean at 0.9, with butternut, peanut, taro leaves, watercress,
    white mustard, yardlong bean at 0.8%, on a rounded and calculated Zero
    Moisture Basis (ZMB). Zello et al (1995) estimate a requirement of 8-12
    mg/kg/day histidine for nitrogen-balance adults, but they maintain that
    suchestimates are too low.
