While bananas do not typically appear on the list of foods that trigger headaches, they may be a trigger food for anyone who finds that red wine and cheese trigger their headaches. This is because bananas also contain tyramine. Studies have shown that the peel of the banana has more than 10 times the amount of tyramine in the pulp of the banana. It’s a good reason to either avoid bananas all together, or at least get rid of the stringy pieces of peel that stick to the banana.
