Safe & Savory: Navigate Thai Street Food Paleo & Nut-Free

Embarking on a Thai street food adventure is a sensory explosion – the sizzle of hot grills, the aromatic herbs, the vibrant colors. But for those navigating Paleo or navigating a serious nut allergy, excitement can quickly turn into apprehension. Hidden soy sauce, unexpected peanut dust, or sugary marinades can turn seemingly safe choices into minefields. Fear not, adventurous eater! The mm food app is your essential tool for savoring Thai street food safely and deliciously.

Why Thai Street Food Needs Careful Navigation (Paleo & Nut-Free)

Thai cuisine is flavor-packed, relying on ingredients that can clash with Paleo principles or pose dangers for nut allergies:

• Nuts Everywhere: Peanuts are ubiquitous, often ground into sauces (like Satay), sprinkled as garnish, or used in dressings. Unseen cross-contamination is a major concern.
• Soy & Legumes: Soy sauce is fundamental, and many dips/dishes use fermented soybean products. Beansprouts and legumes frequently appear.
• Hidden Sugars & Oils: Palm sugar is common, and vegetable oils like soybean oil are widely used for frying.
• Gluten & Grains: While easily avoided in obvious forms, soy sauce contains wheat. Rice is king, but sauces can be thickened with flour.

How mm food is Your Culinary Compass

Don't let navigational challenges spoil your feast. mm food empowers you:

1. Set Your Filter: Input your requirements: Paleo diet, 'Nut-Free' (including severity level like avoiding cross-contamination), 'Gluten-Free' if needed, or add any custom restrictions (e.g., 'no coconut aminos if used as substitute' or 'strictly no concealed soy').
2. Translate & Understand: Point your camera at the Thai menu. mm food instantly translates it into your native language, ensuring you know exactly what you're looking at – no more guessing what "Pad Thai" really contains beyond noodles.
3. AI-Powered Analysis: Our intelligent system analyzes the translated dish descriptions and names against your pre-set dietary profile.
4. Clear Guidance: The app instantly flags dishes that meet your criteria with a clear, visual indicator (think a big green check!). It proactively identifies potential red flags based on your restrictions (e.g., "Warning: Papaya Salad often contains peanuts" for nut-free, or "Likely contains soy sauce/oil" for strict Paleo). It also suggests alternatives that might be safer bets. You can ask follow-up questions through the app! "Is the meat in this satay marinated?" or "Does this fish sauce contain legumes?"
