A member asked:
Broccoli, kale, collard make my sinuses swell & cheeks go red. this lasts about an hour. what does this reaction mean? allrgy tests showed nothing.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unusual: None of these are considered even moderately allergenic foods and thus I am puzzled by the reactions. The absence of itching also speaks against an allergic reaction . Do you have the same reaction whether these are eaten raw or cooked? If these were consumed in the form of hot soup, the reaction may just be one pointing to the presence of rosacea which causes flushing.
