Understanding G6PD Triggers in Bali’s Cuisine

- Beans: Fava beans (often in fusion dishes), lentils
- Additives: Artificial food colorings (common in snacks), sulfites (preservatives in fruits/seafood)
- Medicines: Herbal tonics like Jamu or antimalarials (confirm safety with your doctor)
- Unlabeled processed items: Sauces, dressings, or fried foods In Bali, watch for bistik celeng (pork with beans), colorful jaja cakes, and street snacks with synthetic dyes.

- Learn Key Phrases: Know "tidak ada kacang fava?" (no fava beans?) or "pewarna alami" (natural dyes).
