Dine Worry-Free: Navigating Georgian Cuisine with a Nickel Allergy

Georgian feasts, or supra, are legendary for their warmth and abundance – from cheese-filled khachapuri to hearty lobio beans and walnut-rich sauces. But for those with nickel allergies, hidden triggers in ingredients, cookware, or preparation methods can turn celebration into discomfort. Nickel, found in legumes, nuts, whole grains, and even stainless steel utensils, lurks in many Georgian staples, making dining tricky.

The Hidden Nickel Traps in Georgian Dishes

Common nickel-containing culprits include:

• Legumes: Lobio (bean stew), badrijani (eggplant with walnut paste), and pkhali (spinach/beet salads)
• Nuts/Seeds: Satsivi (walnut sauce) and churchkhela (nut-filled candy)
• Whole Grains: Mchadi (cornbread) and dishes using unrefined flour
• Cookware: Traditional stainless steel pots or plates leaching nickel
