Navigating Sesame Allergies in Israeli Street Food
Israeli street food is a vibrant fusion of flavors, but for those with sesame allergies, hidden ingredients like tahini, sesame-crusted breads, or garnishes can pose serious risks. With MM Food, savoring shawarma, falafel, or sabich becomes stress-free. Here’s how our app transforms your culinary experience:

Top Tips for Sesame-Free Street Food
- Ask About Oils: Many vendors fry falafel in sesame oil. Use MM Food’s chat-to-vendor feature to confirm cooking methods.
- Opt for Fresh Salads: Dishes like Israeli salad or grilled meats (without seasoning blends) are often safer bets.
- Avoid Bread Traps: Pita and bourekas frequently contain sesame seeds. MM Food’s ‘sesame-free filter’ suggests alternatives like laffa or rice-based options.
