Surviving Nigerian Street Food as a Vegan: Your Ultimate Guide with mm food

Nigerian street food is a vibrant explosion of flavors, but navigating it as a vegan can feel like a minefield. From hidden fish seasoning in jollof rice to meat-based stocks in soups, maintaining a plant-based diet requires vigilance. Thankfully, mm food is here to transform your experience. Here's how our app empowers you to savor Nigerian street food safely and confidently.

Crack the Code: Translate Menus Instantly

Street vendors’ menus are often handwritten in local languages or slang. Use mm food’s real-time translation feature to decode dishes like “Ewa Agoyin” or “Abula” into your native language. No more guessing games—know exactly what’s in each meal before ordering.

Say Goodbye to Hidden Ingredients

Even “vegetarian-friendly” dishes like moi moi (steamed bean pudding) might contain fish or eggs. Input your dietary restrictions into the app, and our AI cross-checks every menu item against common non-vegan Nigerian ingredients, including:

• Ogiri (fermented locust beans)
• Dawa dawa
• Shrimp powder
• Palm oil (some vegans avoid it)

Discover Accidental Vegan Gems

Nigerian cuisine has naturally vegan options like:

• Akara (fried bean cakes)
• Roasted plantains
• Yam porridge (request no fish)

mm food highlights these dishes and even suggests substitutions for meat-heavy meals. Craving suya? Use our app to find spicy grilled tofu skewers nearby!
