histidine

this is an essential amino acid used to create histamine and carnosine (with β-alanine, which an ovo-lacto like me will get from rna degradation. i may attempt to measure these nucleotides last, perhaps as b4-1 through b4-5), amongst other things, such as glutamate, which is used in the kreb's cycle. carnosine is only present in the diet in red meat, and it is absorbed, but the thing is that we then split it up and put it back together before we use it. as such, despite the absorption, it's actually more efficient to get carnosine this way. for that reason, carnosine is now removed from the lower list. if you want your body to produce more carnosine, you should consume more β-alanine, which is itself only available directly from red meat or supplements (or rna degradation for those that don't eat red meat). for that reason, vegetarians tend to have lower carnosine levels, but i'm willing to let me body deal with this.

water - 0
=============
raspberry - ?. raspberries have very low amounts of amino acids, low enough that nobody bothered measuring it, or that it couldn't be measured. i have not been able to find data, but it's minimal across the board.
guava -  22*.3 = 6.6 mg
banana  -   91 mg
strawberry  -  12 mg
avocado  -  74 mg
kiwi  -  19 mg
soy - 35*4 = 140 mg
ice cream - 88*.825 = 72.6 mg
yogurt - 142*.5 = 71 mg
yeast - 245*5/20 = 61.25 mg
vector cereal -  ?
all bran cereal -  430*.45 = 193.5
wheat bran - 430*.07 = 30.1 mg
sunflower seeds - 632*.08 = 50.56 mg
flax - 472*.12 = 56.64 mg
algal oil -  1020*.1922*.0157 = 3.0778908 mg
