Enjoying Buckwheat-Free Russian Blini: A Safe Dining Guide

Russian blini, thin and savory pancakes, are a culinary staple, but traditional recipes often include buckwheat flour—a concern for those with allergies or dietary restrictions. At mm food, we ensure you savor authentic flavors without compromising safety. Here’s how our app helps you navigate menus confidently:

Understanding Buckwheat in Russian Cuisine

Blini are typically made with buckwheat flour, which adds a nutty flavor. However, buckwheat allergies or gluten sensitivities can make this ingredient problematic. Always verify ingredients before ordering.
