Low-Oxalate Thai Dining Made Easy: Your Essential Survival Guide

Craving Thai food but managing a low-oxalate diet? Navigating menus laden with spinach, nuts, and high-oxalate ingredients can feel overwhelming. At MM Food, we transform dining stress into confidence. Our app deciphers Thai menus in real-time, so you enjoy authentic flavors without the worry.

Why Thai Cuisine Needs Extra Caution

Thai dishes often feature high-oxalate ingredients like:

  • Spinach (common in curries and stir-fries)
  • Nuts (peanuts in satay, pad thai)
  • Beans (winged beans, soybean sprouts)
  • Certain herbs (basil in large quantities)
  • Taro root (in soups and desserts) Mistakes are easy when language barriers or vague menu descriptions hide these triggers.

How MM Food Becomes Your Dining Ally

  1. Set Your Profile: Select "low-oxalate" from our pre-set diets or add custom restrictions.
  2. Scan or Upload: Point your camera at the menu—no typing needed. Our AI instantly translates dishes to your language.
  3. Get Safe Recommendations: We highlight low-oxalate options like:
  • Gai Pad Khing (ginger stir-fried chicken)
  • Pla Nueng (steamed fish with lime)
  • Suki Haeng (clear-broth noodle soup, request no spinach)
  • Fresh papaya salad (hold peanuts)
  1. Ingredient Alerts: Receive warnings if a dish contains hidden risks like shrimp paste or sesame oil.

Pro Tips Beyond the App

  • Request "no nuts" or "no spinach" (use our in-app phrase translator for staff)
  • Opt for coconut milk-based curries over nut-heavy ones
  • Choose steamed/grilled proteins over stir-fries (often cooked with high-oxalate oils)
