Savor Sinigang Safely: Your Low-Oxalate Guide to Filipino Feasts

Filipino cuisine is a vibrant celebration of flavors, but navigating traditional dishes on a low-oxalate diet can feel overwhelming. From savory sinigang to rich kare-kare, many beloved recipes use ingredients high in oxalates. With mm food’s AI-powered tools, you can enjoy your favorite fiesta dishes without compromising your health.

Why Oxalates Matter in Filipino Cooking

Oxalates occur naturally in many staple ingredients like spinach (kangkong), okra, and peanuts used in sauces. For those managing kidney stones or related conditions, tracking these compounds is crucial. Our app instantly translates menus and highlights dishes that align with your dietary needs.

Top Swaps for Classic Dishes

• Sinigang: Skip spinach and use low-oxalate greens like cabbage or bok choy.
• Kare-Kare: Replace peanuts with roasted sunflower seeds for a creamy, nutty sauce.
• Adobo: Opt for lean pork or chicken (naturally low-oxalate proteins) and avoid oxalate-heavy soy sauce alternatives.
