Savoring Greek Cuisine Safely: Navigating G6PD Deficiency on the Islands

Traveling the Greek islands is a feast for the senses, but for those with G6PD deficiency, dining out can feel like navigating a culinary minefield. Traditional dishes often feature ingredients like fava beans, sulfite-rich wines, or legumes that pose risks. With mm food, you can enjoy the vibrant flavors of Greece confidently, knowing your dietary needs are covered.

How mm food Simplifies Safe Dining

Our app instantly translates menus into your native language and analyzes dishes for G6PD triggers. Input your restrictions (e.g., avoiding broad beans, sulfites, or specific preservatives), and the AI cross-references ingredients in real time. For example, it'll flag:

• Fava (split pea dip made with lupin beans)
• Revithokeftedes (chickpea fritters)
• Lakerda (cured fish with potential sulfites)

Safe & Delicious Alternatives

mm food highlights G6PD-friendly options like:

• Grilled octopus (marinated in lemon/oil)
• Dolmades (grape leaves stuffed with rice/herbs)
• Souvlaki (grilled meats with safe seasoning)

The app also deciphers regional terms – like warning if 'fassolia' (beans) appear in a seemingly bean-free dish. User reviews from others with G6PD add extra reassurance.

Explore with Confidence

From Santorini to Corfu, Greek island cuisine becomes stress-free. Scan menus, ask waitstaff about flagged items using built-in translation, and savor your odyssey without compromise. With mm food, the only thing you’ll risk is falling in love with Greece all over again.
