Tyramine is a naturally occuring amino acid found in the body and certain foods. Certain medications, such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), require that the consumption of foods high in tyramine be avoided, as they can lead to dangerous increases in blood pressure. Foods high in tyramine may include aged cheeses, pepperoni, pickled foods, and wine.
