Savoring French Pâtisseries Lectin-Free: Your Stress-Free Guide
French pâtisseries tantalize with delicate pastries, but if you follow a lectin-free diet, navigating their wheat-heavy menus can feel impossible. Lectins—proteins found in grains, beans, and certain vegetables—trigger inflammation for many. But farewell to FOMO! With the mm food app, you can confidently indulge in Parisian delights without compromising your health. Here’s your foolproof roadmap.
Why French Pastries Challenge Lectin-Free Diets
Traditional French pâtisserie relies heavily on high-lectin ingredients:
- Wheat flour: The foundation of croissants, éclairs, and tarts.
- Legume derivatives: Like pea protein or bean flours in gluten-free alternatives.
- Dairy creams: Often thickened with cornstarch or soy lecithin—common lectin carriers.
- Refined sugars: While technically low-lectin, they frequently accompany lectin-rich bases.
How mm food App Makes Lectin-Free Pâtisserie Hopping Effortless
