Navigating Salicylate Sensitivity in Thai Curries with MM Food

Thai curries are beloved for their bold, aromatic flavors, but for those with salicylate sensitivity, navigating these dishes can be challenging. Many traditional ingredients—like coconut milk, chili peppers, and herbs—are naturally high in salicylates, which may trigger reactions. Here's how MM Food’s AI-powered app helps you dine safely.

Common High-Salicylate Ingredients in Thai Curries

• Coconut milk: A base for curries but high in salicylates.
• Chili peppers and spices: Often used for heat but problematic for sensitive individuals.
• Lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves: Core flavor enhancers with varying salicylate levels.

How MM Food Simplifies Safe Dining

1. Menu Translation: Instantly translate Thai menus to your native language, clarifying ingredient lists.
2. Dietary Filtering: Input your salicylate restrictions (or select from preset filters) to highlight safe dishes.
3. AI Analysis: Our app cross-references each dish’s components, flagging high-salicylate ingredients and suggesting alternatives (e.g., requesting a milder spice blend or substituting tamarind paste with lime juice).

Tips for Customizing Thai Dishes

• Opt for green papaya salad (hold the chilies) or stir-fried vegetables with garlic sauce.
• Request dishes without shrimp paste or premixed curry pastes, which may contain hidden salicylates.
