Savor Mexico Safely: Your Guide to Oral Allergy Syndrome-Friendly Street Fruits

Traveling with Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) can turn Mexico's vibrant street food scene into a minefield. For those with pollen-related food allergies, certain raw fruits trigger reactions like itching or swelling in the mouth and throat. But there's good news: many of Mexico's iconic street fruits are naturally low-risk for OAS sufferers—if you know which ones to choose. Discover how to enjoy tropical flavors safely with smart strategies and the mm food app.

Why OAS Complicates Fruit Choices

OAS sufferers react to proteins in raw fruits and vegetables that resemble pollen allergens. In Mexico, high-risk fruits typically include:

• Stone fruits: Peaches, plums, apricots
• Apples and pears
• Melons and kiwis These often cross-react with birch or ragweed pollen allergies.

OAS-Safe Mexican Street Fruits

Luckily, Mexico's diverse produce includes many low-allergen options. Generally safer choices include:

• Tropical wonders: Pineapple, papaya, and coconut (minimal cross-reactivity)
• Vitamin-packed picks: Mango (peeled), guava, and passion fruit
• Cooked specialties: Baked plantains (plátanos machos), roasted sweet potatoes (camotes)

Pro tip: Peel fruits thoroughly and avoid bruised areas, as allergens concentrate near the skin.
