Navigating Sushi Safely: A Guide to Histidine-Restricted Dining

For individuals managing histidine restrictions, dining out—especially at sushi restaurants—presents unique challenges. Histidine, an amino acid abundant in protein-rich foods, is prevalent in many popular seafood ingredients. This guide reveals how the mm food app empowers you to enjoy sushi confidently while adhering to dietary needs.

Why Sushi Requires Extra Caution

Many favorites like tuna, mackerel, and salmon are naturally high in histidine. Less obvious risks include:

• Fish roe (tobiko, ikura), often used in rolls
• Marinated fish or sauces containing fish broth
• Shared prep surfaces risking cross-contact Traditional menus rarely list histidine content, making informed choices difficult without specialized tools.
