Savor Indonesia Safely: A Salicylate-Sensitive Guide to Warungs

Navigating Indonesia's vibrant warung eateries with salicylate sensitivity can feel overwhelming. Traditional dishes bursting with spices, herbs, and tropical ingredients often hide high-salicylate culprits like tomatoes, chili, cinnamon, and citrus. But with mm food, you can confidently discover safe, delicious meals without sacrificing authenticity or flavor.

Why Warungs Pose Challenges

Warungs pride themselves on complex, aromatic dishes rich in:

• Spice pastes (bumbu): Often contain garlic, shallots, turmeric, and chilies—all high-salicylate.
• Common ingredients: Soy sauce, tomatoes, coconut milk, peanuts, and tropical fruits (mango, pineapple).
• Limited allergy awareness: Staff may not grasp salicylate sensitivity specifics, especially across language barriers.
