Navigating a Low-Nickel Diet at Turkish Breakfast Spots

Turkish breakfast spreads (kahvaltı) offer a vibrant feast of flavors, but for those managing nickel sensitivity, navigating this tradition requires careful choices. Typical ingredients like whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes can pose challenges due to their higher nickel content. Here’s how to savor Turkish breakfast safely using app insights.

Nickel Considerations in Classic Dishes

Avoid these common high-nickel items:

• Breads: Eschew whole-wheat simit or pide; choose white flour alternatives
• Spreads: Skip nut-based options like tahini or hummus (made from nickel-rich chickpeas)
• Accompaniments: Avoid processed sausages (sucuk), dried fruits, and canned components

Low-Nickel Breakfast Alternatives

Enjoy these traditional delights safely:

• Fresh cheeses: Beyaz peynir (feta), lor (cottage cheese)
• Hydrating veggies: Cucumber, tomato, lettuce
• Proteins: Hard-boiled eggs and fresh honeycomb
• Safe carbs: White flour gözleme (pancakes) without seed toppings
