Savoring the Middle East Without Watermelon: Your Safe Dining Guide

Middle Eastern cuisine captivates with its aromatic spices, tender meats, and fresh salads—but for those with watermelon allergies, hidden ingredients can turn dining into a dangerous guessing game. Watermelon unexpectedly appears in dishes like fattoush salads, refreshing beverages, and summer fruit mezze platters. Thankfully, the mm food app transforms this challenge into confident culinary exploration.

How mm food Protects Watermelon-Allergic Diners

1. Ingredient Translation Magic: Instantly translate any Middle Eastern menu to your native language, spotting watermelon (بطيخ in Arabic) in dishes before ordering.
2. Smart Allergy Filter: Set 'watermelon' as a dietary restriction (our AI even catches regional terms like ''جبس''). The app scans dishes like:
   • Tabbouleh (often safe)
   • Lamb kebabs (usually safe)
   • Watermelon-feta salad (flagged instantly)
3. Instant Safety Alerts: Receive clear 'safe to eat' tags on compliant dishes and warnings on risky items—even for ambiguous descriptions like "seasonal fruit mix."
