Savor Greece Safely: Your G6PD Deficiency Dining Guide

Traveling with Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency? Greece's vibrant food scene is filled with delights, but hidden triggers like fava beans, sulfites in wine, and certain legumes can pose risks. Discover how the mm food app empowers you to dine confidently.

G6PD Risks in Greek Cuisine

Greek kitchens commonly use ingredients that may trigger hemolysis in G6PD-deficient individuals:

• Fava beans (found in traditional fava dip and revithada stew)
• Broad beans and lentils in soups or mezze
• Sulfites in wine, dried fruits, and processed meats
• Quinine in tonic water cocktails
• Blue cheeses and foods containing synthetic additives
