Savor Italy on a Low-Oxalate Diet: Stress-Free Dining Guide

Navigating Italian menus can be overwhelming when managing oxalate intake for kidney health. Traditional dishes often feature high-oxalate ingredients like spinach, nuts, tomatoes, potatoes, and chocolate. But Italy's culinary landscape holds delicious low-oxalate options waiting to be discovered—with the right tools.

2. Real-Time Translation: Decipher menus effortlessly with instant Italian-to-English (or 45+ languages) translation, clarifying ingredient lists.
3. Smart Swaps: Can't find safe options? The app suggests modifications—like swapping tomato sauce for garlic-olive oil on pasta.

Italian Low-Oxalate Favorites to Seek Out:

• Antipasti: Fresh mozzarella (mozzarella di bufala) with basil, grilled calamari (calamari alla griglia)
• Primi: Risotto with zucchini or mushrooms (avoid tomato-based sauces), pasta aglio e olio (garlic and oil)
• Secondi: Grilled fish (branzino or orata), plain chicken (pollo alla griglia), or veal scaloppine (without sauces)
• Contorni: Steamed cauliflower, green beans (fagiolini), cucumbers
• Dolci: Panna cotta (vanilla cream) or fresh ricotta with a dash of honey

Pro Tips for Dining Success:

• Communicate "Niente spinaci/pomodori/noci" (no spinach/tomatoes/nuts) to servers.
• Prioritize grilled/steamed dishes over fried foods (breading may contain high-oxalate flour).
• Use mm food's camera scan to instantly check daily specials or handwritten menus.
