Navigating Scandinavian Cuisine: Your Ultimate Lectin-Free Restaurant Guide

Exploring Scandinavian restaurants offers a journey through fresh seafood, wild game, and seasonal ingredients – but how do you enjoy this culinary experience while avoiding lectins? For those committed to a lectin-free lifestyle, navigating traditional menus can seem daunting. But fear not! We'll guide you through Scandinavian dining pitfalls and introduce mm food, your smart solution for lectin-safe eating out.

What to Watch Out For

Scandinavian cuisine heavily relies on ingredients naturally rich in lectins:

• Grains: Avoid rye bread, crispbreads (knekkebrød), and barley-based dishes.
• Legumes: Skip pea soups (ärtsoppa) and dishes featuring beans.
• Nightshades: Tomato-based sauces and potato accompaniments hide in staples like Swedish meatballs.

Lectin-Friendly Scandinavian Options

Seek these generally safe choices:

• Fresh fish & seafood: Grilled salmon with dill, herring without grain-based sauces.
• Lean game meats: Venison or reindeer with pureed cauliflower or root vegetables.
• Foraged greens and berries: Pickled wild mushrooms, cloudberry desserts (avoid grain toppings).
