Histidine-Friendly Sushi: Top Restaurant Picks for Safe Dining

Navigating sushi menus with histidine restrictions can feel daunting, but dining out safely is possible with the right knowledge. Histidine, an amino acid prevalent in fish and seafood, requires careful selection for those managing conditions like histidinemia. The mm food app simplifies this by instantly translating menus and analyzing dishes for histidine content—ensuring you enjoy authentic sushi without compromise.
