Low-Oxalate Turkish Breakfast Survival Guide: Enjoy Safely with MM Food

Turkish breakfasts are a feast for the senses, overflowing with vibrant cheeses, fresh vegetables, and savory spreads. But for those managing a low-oxalate diet, navigating this culinary tradition can feel overwhelming. Learn how MM Food’s AI-powered app helps you savor every bite without compromising your health.

The Turkish Breakfast Dilemma: Hidden Oxalate Traps

Traditional Turkish breakfast spreads often include high-oxalate ingredients like:

• Spinach and beetroot in dishes like menemen (scrambled eggs with veggies)
• Nuts and seeds in spreads such as tahini or cevizli biber (walnut-red pepper paste)
• Whole-grain breads like çavdar ekmeği (rye bread)
