Savoring Sushi Safely: Your Low-Iodine Dining Guide

Eating out with a low-iodine diet can feel overwhelming, especially at sushi restaurants where hidden iodine sources abound. Seaweed (nori), fish varieties, soy sauce, and even prep methods may jeopardize your dietary needs. Fortunately, mm food transforms this challenge into a stress-free experience. Here’s how to dine confidently:

The Hidden Iodine Traps in Sushi

• Nori Wraps: Seaweed is iodine-rich – avoid maki rolls wrapped in nori.
• Fish Factors: Opt for freshwater fish like tilapia; limit tuna, cod, or shrimp which absorb more iodine.
• Sauces & Seasonings: Soy sauce often contains iodized salt. Request tamari (iodine-free) or lemon juice instead.
• Roe & Toppings: Fish roe (tobiko) and tempura flakes typically add excess iodine.

How mm food App Simplifies Your Sushi Night

1. Translate & Scan Menus: Instantly convert Japanese menus to your language.
2. AI-Powered Filtering: Enter "low-iodine" in dietary restrictions. The app analyzes dishes, flagging:
   • Safe choices like sashimi (salmon, yellowtail) or nigiri with approved fish.
   • High-risk items containing seaweed, roe, or soy-marinated proteins.
3. Custom Alerts: Add personal triggers (e.g., "no kelp broth" or "steamed rice only").

Pro Tips for Restaurant Success

• Order Simply: Stick to sashimi plates or cucumber rolls (no nori).
• Communicate Clearly: Show the app’s food restrictions card to chefs.
