Lupin-Free Mediterranean Bakery Adventures: Savor Tradition Safely

Mediterranean bakeries enchant with flaky baklava, sesame-coated rolls, and olive-studded focaccia — yet hidden ingredients like lupin flour can turn these delights into dangers for allergy sufferers. As lupin gains popularity in gluten-free baking despite its legume-related risks, navigating authentic bakeries demands vigilance. Our mm food app transforms this challenge into effortless exploration, ensuring you savor every tradition safely.

Why Lupin Lurks in Mediterranean Bakeries

Lupin flour, derived from lupin beans, is a common gluten-free alternative in Mediterranean baked goods like flatbreads and sweets. While nutritionally rich, it shares proteins with peanuts — posing severe risks for 40% of peanut allergy sufferers due to cross-reactivity. Symptoms range from hives to anaphylaxis. Unlike top allergens, lupin is rarely highlighted on menus or translated accurately for travelers.
