Lectin-Free Georgian Cuisine Survival Guide

Georgian cuisine, with its rich flavors and hearty dishes, is a culinary adventure. But for those following a lectin-free diet, navigating traditional menus can be challenging. From bean-rich lobio to walnut-packed pkhali, many classics include high-lectin ingredients. Here’s how the MM Food app helps you enjoy Georgia’s food culture safely.

The Lectin Challenge in Georgian Dishes

Key staples like beans, grains, nightshades (e.g., tomatoes, eggplant), and certain nuts are central to Georgian cooking. The MM Food app instantly translates menus and flags dishes containing lectin-rich ingredients, helping you avoid hidden risks.

App Features for Lectin-Free Dining

1. AI-Powered Menu Analysis Upload or scan a menu to see lectin-free recommendations. Dishes like mtsvadi (grilled meat skewers) or chakapuli (herb-heavy stew without tomatoes) get highlighted.
2. Custom Alerts Set alerts for specific lectin sources (e.g., wheat in khachapuri) and receive modified order suggestions.
3. Restaurant Tips Use the app’s phrasebook to request ingredient substitutions (e.g., swapping eggplant for zucchini in ajapsandali).

Safe Georgian Dishes to Savor

• Grilled Meats: Most lectin-safe if marinades avoid nightshades.
• Vegetable Salads: Opt for lettuce-based options instead of tomato/cucumber salads.
• Herb Sauces: Tkemali (plum sauce) is often lectin-friendly when homemade.
