Dine Safely: Your Low-Oxalate Guide to Thai Cuisine

Navigating Thai menus on a low-oxalate diet can feel overwhelming. From creamy curries to stir-fried specialties, hidden high-oxalate ingredients lurk in many beloved dishes. With mm food, you can confidently enjoy Thailand's vibrant flavors while staying true to your dietary needs. Simply scan any menu for instant translations and AI-powered safety analysis!

Why Thai Food Requires Extra Caution

Thai cuisine frequently features high-oxalate ingredients that may trigger kidney stone concerns or inflammation. Watch out for:

  • Leafy greens: Spinach (often in curries) and amaranth
  • Nuts: Cashews (in pad Thai) and peanuts
  • Root vegetables: Taro, sweet potatoes, and beets
  • Legumes: Soy products like tofu and soybean sprouts
  • Seeds: Sesame toppings and chia desserts

Smart Low-Oxalate Thai Choices

Prioritize these safer dishes with our app's real-time analysis:

  1. Grilled proteins: Chicken satay (skip peanut sauce) or steamed fish with lime
  2. Rice-based dishes: Plain jasmine rice or pineapple fried rice (hold the nuts)
  3. Brothy soups: Tom yum with shrimp (avoid leafy add-ins)
  4. Stir-fries: Pad kra pao made with chicken/pork and Thai basil (request no beans)
  5. Desserts: Fresh mango slices or coconut ice cream

Pro Dining Strategies

  • Customize confidently: Use mm food to identify modifiable dishes—e.g., swap spinach for bok choy in green curry
  • Communicate clearly: Show translated dietary requests to staff: "Mai sai tua lisong kap" (No peanuts, please)
  • Focus on herbs: Lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves add flavor without oxalate concerns
