Navigating Egypt with Sucrose Intolerance: Your Essential Dining Guide

Embarking on an Egyptian adventure with sucrose intolerance? Between savoring aromatic street food and indulging in traditional sweets, managing dietary restrictions can feel daunting. This guide—paired with the mm food app—ensures you relish Egypt's culinary magic without compromising your health.

Why Egypt Poses Unique Challenges

Traditional Egyptian cuisine frequently uses sucrose-rich ingredients like dates, honey, sugarcane juice, and syrups in iconic dishes such as:

• Basbousa (semolina cakes soaked in syrup)
• Qatayef (stuffed pancakes drenched in sugar glaze)
• Karkade (hibiscus tea loaded with added sugar) Even savory staples like molokhia stew or kofta may contain hidden sugars in sauces and marinades.
