Savor the Season: A Lupin-Free Adventure at European Holiday Markets
The festive glow of European holiday markets beckons with steaming glühwein and sizzling treats. But for those with lupin allergies, hidden dangers in traditional foods can dim the magic. Lupin flour—common in European baked goods and savory dishes—can trigger severe reactions. Fear not, though! With mm food, you can savor the season safely.
Why Lupin Lurks in Festive Fare
European holiday delights like Belgian waffles, French crêpes, German sausages (with lupin-based binders), and even some roasted nuts or spice blends may contain lupin. Cross-contamination in busy market stalls adds another risk layer, turning merry indulgences into potential hazards.
