Navigating Cyprus Cuisine Safely with G6PD Deficiency
Dining out in Cyprus with G6PD deficiency doesn't have to be stressful. Cyprus offers delicious Mediterranean flavors, but hidden ingredients like fava beans (common in traditional dishes) and certain artificial colorings can pose risks. Our mm food app transforms your dining experience by providing real-time menu translation and G6PD safety analysis. Here's how to eat safely:
- Set Your Profile: In the app, select 'G6PD Deficiency' from our pre-defined dietary restrictions. Add custom triggers like sulfites or specific beans if needed.
- Scan & Translate: Snap a photo of any Greek, Turkish, or English menu. Our AI instantly translates dishes to your native language and highlights Cyprus-specific hazards like:
- Tavas (slow-cooked lamb with fava beans)
- Louvi (black-eyed pea salad)
- Foods containing artificial blue/green dyes
- Get Smart Alerts: See safety ratings (✅ Safe, ⚠️ Caution, ❌ Avoid) for each dish. The app cross-references 50+ G6PD triggers and checks for contaminated cooking methods.
- Explore Safe Local Favorites: Enjoy worry-free Cypriot specialties:
- Grilled Souvla (herb-marinated meats)
- Halloumi cheese (ensure no broad bean paste)
- Fresh Shiamishi (stuffed pastry with safe fillings)
Pro Tip: When ordering, show the app's "Chef Card" feature – it explains your dietary needs in Greek and Turkish to prevent kitchen errors.
