Navigating Thai Menus: Your Vegan Low-Histamine Dining Guide

Embracing Thai cuisine while adhering to vegan and low-histamine diets can feel like solving a culinary puzzle. Fermented sauces, shellfish pastes, and aged ingredients often hide in beloved dishes, triggering reactions for sensitive diners. Fortunately, mm food transforms this challenge into a seamless experience.

Why Thai Food Needs Careful Selection

Traditional Thai cooking relies on staples problematic for low-histamine diets: fermented fish sauce (nam pla), shrimp paste (kapi), soy sauce, and aged chili pastes. Even vegetable stir-fries may contain hidden fish derivatives. Pair this with vegan constraints (no eggs, dairy, or meat), and menu navigation becomes overwhelming.

How MM Food Simplifies Your Dining Experience

1. Instant Menu Translation: Scan or upload any Thai menu—MM Food translates dishes into your native language instantly.
2. Dietary Safeguard: Set your profile to "Vegan + Low-Histamine." Our AI cross-references every dish against:
   • Fermented ingredients (soy sauce, fish alternatives)
   • High-histamine veggies (spinach, eggplant)
   • Preservatives and aged items
3. Real-Time Recommendations: Get clear "Safe to Eat" flags on compliant dishes like:
   • Som Tum Thai (modified): Papaya salad without fish sauce/dried shrimp (request tamarind-free dressing).
   • Pad Pak Ruam: Stir-fried mixed vegetables (ensure no oyster sauce; request fresh bamboo shoots).
   • Gaeng Jued: Clear vegetable soup with tofu, avoiding MSG and fermented beans.

Pro Tips for Ordering Safely

• Request "jay" (Thai vegan) but specify "no fermented sauces" explicitly.
• Choose freshly prepared dishes: Histamine levels rise in leftovers.
• Avoid: Curries (often premade with shrimp paste), tom yum soup (fermented chili paste), and pineapple (naturally high histamine).
