Navigating Low-Salicylate Diets in Nordic Cuisine: A MM Food Guide

Exploring Nordic cuisine while managing a low-salicylate diet can feel daunting, but the MM Food app simplifies the process. From Sweden’s hearty meatballs to Denmark’s smørrebrød, Nordic dishes often feature ingredients like berries, root vegetables, and herbs—many of which may be high in salicylates. Here’s how MM Food helps you savor Nordic flavors safely:

Step 1: Understand Nordic Staples & Salicylate Levels

Many traditional Nordic ingredients are naturally low in salicylates, including:

• Lean meats (reindeer, pork)
• White fish (cod, haddock)
• Cabbage and cauliflower
• Dairy products

High-salicylate foods to watch for include lingonberries, certain spices (like juniper), and almonds in desserts.

Step 2: Scan, Translate & Analyze Menus

With MM Food:

1. Scan or upload a Nordic menu
2. Translate ingredients to your native language
3. Instant dietary analysis flags dishes matching your low-salicylate profile
