Navigating Arsenic in Rice: Safe Dining in Asia with mm food

Rice anchors Asian cuisine, but concerns about arsenic contamination—a natural toxin absorbed from soil and water—demand mindful choices. Long-term arsenic exposure is linked to health risks, especially in regions with contaminated groundwater. For diners across Asia, selecting safer rice dishes is crucial.

The revolutionary mm food app empowers you to dine with confidence:

1. Instant Menu Translation: Scan or upload any Asian menu for real-time translation to your native language, eliminating guessing games about dish ingredients.
2. Dietary Restriction Filter: Input "low arsenic" as a custom dietary restriction. mm food's AI cross-references rice types and preparation methods, flagging safer options:
   • Prioritizes white rice (naturally lower in arsenic than brown rice)
   • Highlights dishes with rice from lower-risk regions (e.g., basmati/jasmine)
   • Identifies cooking methods like pre-soaking or excess-water boiling that reduce arsenic
3. Smart Recommendations: Receive instant alerts for safer alternatives like:
   • Biryani (made with aromatic, lower-arsenic rice)
   • Sushi with white rice vinegar
   • Steamed jasmine rice dishes
   • Rice-free substitutes like noodles or quinoa-based options

Pair app insights with smart dining habits: rinse rice before cooking, limit brown rice intake, and diversify grains. With mm food, savor Asia's vibrant food culture—safely and informed.
