Mastering Lectin-Free Sushi: Your Ultimate Restaurant Survival Guide

Navigating sushi menus while avoiding lectins—proteins found in legumes, grains, and nightshades that cause digestive issues for many—can feel like walking through a culinary minefield. Between soy sauce-laden rolls, tempura coatings, and hidden sauces, lectin traps lurk everywhere. But dining out stress-free is possible! The mm food app transforms your sushi experience with two game-changing features: instant menu translation and AI-powered lectin analysis.

The Lectin Challenges in Sushi

• Rice dilemmas: Traditional sushi rice contains vinegar with potential grain-based additives.
• Soy sauce substitutes: Most soy sauces (even gluten-free versions) derive from lectin-heavy soybeans.
• Hidden offenders: Common add-ons like edamame, tempura, or miso paste are lectin bombs.
• Cross-contamination risk: Shared surfaces and sauces often compromise "safe" ingredients.

How mm food App Makes Sushi Safe

1. Set Your Profile: Select "lectin-free" in dietary preferences—or customize restrictions (e.g., allow sesame but block soy).
2. Translate & Scan: Point your camera at any menu. mm food instantly translates it and highlights: ✅ Lectin-safe options (e.g., sashimi, cucumber rolls, avocado) ❌ Hazardous dishes (e.g., soy-marinated fish, tempura, miso soup)
3. Smart Substitutions: Get real-time suggestions: "Ask for coconut aminos instead of soy sauce" or "Request lettuce wraps instead of rice."

Pro Tips for Lectin-Free Sushi Success

• Prioritize sashimi or nigiri with approved toppings like ginger or radish.
• Avoid all soy-based sauces—opt for olive oil, sea salt, or lemon.
• Double-check "gluten-free" rolls which may still contain soy.

Don’t let lectins steal your sushi joy. With mm food, confidently order vibrant, safe dishes that align with your health goals—no PhD in menu translation required!
