Savor Rwandan Flavors While Managing Purine Intake

Rwandan cuisine celebrates fresh, wholesome ingredients, but dining out with purine restrictions can be challenging. The MM Food app transforms this experience by helping you identify safe, delicious options while exploring dishes like Ibihazi (mixed vegetables) or Isombe (cassava leaves).

Traditional Dishes to Enjoy

• Legume-Based Meals: Opt for bean stews (Ibiharage) or lentil dishes rich in protein without high purines
• Grilled Plantains: A naturally low-purine staple often served with peanut sauce
• Ubugali Wa Kivu: Fermented corn porridge paired with safe vegetable sides

Smart Swaps with MM Food

Use the app to:

1. Translate menus instantly from Kinyarwanda/English
2. Flag high-purine ingredients like smoked fish or organ meats
3. Discover modified recipes for classics like grilled tilapia (ask for lighter seasoning)

Foods to Avoid Alert

MM Food will warn about:

• Agatogo (plantain-meat stew)
• Dried sardines (Isambaza)
• Rich meat broths in soups

Pro tip: Enable ‘Custom Filter’ to exclude yeast extracts common in Rwandan seasonings.
