Navigating Brazilian Fruits with Oral Allergy Syndrome: A Safe Dining Guide

For those with Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS), dining on exotic fruits can be a minefield of triggers. Brazil’s vibrant culinary scene offers a bounty of tropical fruits like açaí, jabuticaba, and caju, but their proteins may cross-react with pollen allergies, causing itching, swelling, or discomfort. Here’s how to enjoy Brazil’s flavors safely with the mm food app.

Common Brazilian Fruits and OAS Risks

• Açaí: Linked to palm pollen allergies.
• Manga (Mango): May cross-react with birch or latex allergies.
• Caju (Cashew Fruit): Risks for those sensitive to pistachio or mango.
• Maracujá (Passion Fruit): Potential trigger for grass pollen allergies.
