Low-Oxalate Filipino Favorites to Target at the Festival

Safe Bets:

• Lechon de Leche: Plain roasted pork (without crispy skin) is naturally low-oxalate.
• Grilled Seafood: Inihaw na Isda/Daigng (fish/shrimp) with calamansi or vinegar-based marinades.
• Chicken Adobo: Opt for versions without soy sauce overload (use app to verify brands!).
• Steamed Rice: A neutral, oxalate-friendly staple.
• Fruit Desserts: Fresh mangoes, pineapples, or buko (young coconut).

Pro Tips:

• Avoid simmered stews with leafy greens like Kangkong (water spinach) or peanuts.
• Skip sauces like Satè or Bagoong if uncertain—scan them in the app first.
• Hydrate with bottled water or coconut water to support kidney health.
