Navigating Lupin Allergies in Mediterranean Pastries with mm food
For those with lupin allergies, Mediterranean pastries pose unique risks. Lupin flour – a common gluten-free alternative in Mediterranean baking – hides in delicacies like Turkish biscuits, Italian pasticcini, or Greek dips. Even trace amounts can trigger severe reactions. At mm food, we transform your dining experience by providing lupin-safe menu solutions.
Why Mediterranean Pastries Risk Lupin Exposure
Lupin, a legume relative of peanuts, enriches traditional baked goods due to its protein content and binding properties. Unexpected sources include:
- Baklava and filo dough products
- Pizza crusts in specialty bakeries
- Bean-based spreads (tapenades)
- Flavored breads and biscuits
Without clear labels or multilingual menus, dining safely becomes challenging.
