Enjoying Mediterranean Cuisine: Smart Niacin-Restricted Meal Choices

Mediterranean cuisine is celebrated for its vibrant flavors and health benefits, but navigating menus on a niacin-restricted diet can be challenging. Whether you're managing a specific health condition or monitoring vitamin intake, mm food simplifies your dining experience by instantly analyzing dishes for niacin content. Here’s how to savor Mediterranean flavors safely.

Why Niacin Matters

Niacin (vitamin B3) occurs naturally in many Mediterranean staples like whole grains, legumes, seafood, and poultry. While essential for many, those with dietary restrictions need alternatives. The mm food app identifies hidden niacin sources—like fortified flours or rich sauces—helping you avoid unintended consumption.

Mediterranean Dishes Ideal for Niacin Restrictions

These typically lower-niacin options align with traditional Mediterranean ingredients. Use mm food's camera scan for real-time verification on any menu:

1. Olive Oil-Drizzled Greens: Simple salads with leafy greens, cucumber, and olives (skip feta cheese or tuna).
2. Herbed Roasted Vegetables: Zucchini, eggplant, and bell peppers roasted with garlic and rosemary.
3. Fruit-Forward Platters: Fresh figs, citrus segments, or pomegranate salads dressed with lemon juice.
4. Simple Grain Alternatives: Opt for pearl couscous (lower-niacin) instead of whole wheat bread or bulgur.

Always inform servers about your dietary needs, as recipes vary.
