Navigating Polynesian Menus with Coconut Allergies: A Safe Dining Guide

Dining on Polynesian cuisine evokes visions of tropical flavors and vibrant dishes, but for those with coconut allergies, it presents hidden risks. Coconut permeates Polynesian cooking—from creamy sauces like faikakai to desserts like haupia—and can lurk in unexpected places such as marinades, baked goods, and even stir-fries. Cross-contamination in kitchens is another silent threat.
