Enjoying Filipino Adobo on a Low-Sulfur Diet: Smart Customizations with mm food
Filipino Adobo, a savory stew of meat, vinegar, and spices, is a beloved national dish. However, traditional recipes often include high-sulfur ingredients like garlic, soy sauce, and onions, which can clash with low-sulfur dietary needs. With the mm food app, you can savor this iconic meal while adhering to your health goals. Here’s how:
Understanding Traditional Adobo Ingredients
Classic Adobo includes:
- Garlic (high in sulfur compounds)
- Soy sauce (fermented, sulfur-rich)
- Onions (sulfur-containing)
- Vinegar and black peppercorns
Low-Sulfur Swaps Made Simple
mm food's AI-powered analysis helps identify and replace problematic ingredients:
- Garlic Alternatives: Use infused oils or asafoetida for umami without sulfur.
- Soy Sauce Substitute: Opt for coconut aminos or a low-sodium tamari alternative.
- Onion Replacement: Swap with leeks (green parts only) or chives for milder flavors.
The app cross-references your dietary profile with menu items, flagging hidden sulfur sources like preservatives or broth additives. You’ll receive tailored suggestions, such as opting for chicken breast (lower in sulfur) over pork or enhancing flavor with citrus juices instead of excess salt.
