Navigating Spanish Tapas with a Low-Histamine Diet

Dining at a Spanish tapas bar is a culinary adventure—unless you’re managing histamine intolerance. With MM Food’s AI-powered app, you can savor Spain’s vibrant flavors safely. Here’s how to enjoy tapas while keeping histamine levels in check.

How the MM Food App Simplifies Your Experience

1. Instant Menu Translation: Translate Spanish tapas menus into your native language to understand every ingredient. No more guessing games with foreign terms like boquerones (anchovies) or chorizo (spiced sausage).
2. Smart Dietary Filtering: Input your low-histamine requirements, and the app highlights safe dishes, cross-referencing ingredients against histamine-rich culprits like aged cheeses, fermented items, and cured meats.

Tapas to Avoid & Low-Histamine Alternatives

High-Histamine Traps:

• Jamón Ibérico (cured ham)
• Queso Manchego (aged cheese)
• Espinacas con Garbanzos (spinach with chickpeas, often seasoned with vinegar)

Safe Bets:

• Gambas a la Plancha (grilled fresh shrimp)
• Ensalada Verde (green salad with olive oil)
• Pisto (fresh vegetable stew)

Pro Tips for Stress-Free Dining

• Ask About Freshness: Use the app’s translation feature to inquire if dishes are prepared fresh (avoid leftovers, which accumulate histamine).
• Skip the Wine: Pair your meal with a low-histamine drink like herbal tea or water infused with fresh fruits.

With MM Food, you’ll relish authentic Spanish tapas without the flare-ups. ¡Buen provecho!
