YOUR PERSONALISED FOOD GUIDE · S1
Explore where wheat connect to local dishes and ingredients, recognise useful names and prepare questions for your next meal.
Typical recipes and products vary. This guide supports your research and conversation; it does not verify an individual meal.
Read the complete meal: its base, sauces, stock, seasonings, coatings, garnishes and preparation. A familiar dish name does not establish the recipe used for the serving in front of you.
This guide keeps every selected food together. A recorded connection identifies something worth checking; a missing connection leaves the ingredient status unknown.
| Part of the meal | What to establish |
|---|---|
| The main ingredients | Check the base, filling, noodles, dough, batter or primary protein against wheat. |
| What is mixed in | Check sauces, stocks, premixes, seasoning blends, marinades and bought-in components. |
| How it is prepared | Discuss shared oil, water, equipment, surfaces and utensils separately from recipe composition. |
| Your selection | Type | Recorded coverage |

| Wheat | Allergy or food group | 28 Iran dishes have a recorded connection to investigate. |
Rice, herbs and layered dishes: Iranian rice may be boiled and then steamed, served plain as chelo or flavoured as polo. Examples include sabzi polo with parsley, dill and mint, shirin polo with orange zest, cherries and glazed carrots, and reshteh polo with wheat noodles layered through rice. Tahchin binds seasoned rice layers with egg and yoghurt. Ask about butter, garnishes and the separate preparation of rice and toppings.
Stews, hot pots and ash: Home-style meals may combine rice with khoresht, such as fesenjan with walnuts and pomegranate syrup, or ghormeh-sabzi with herbs, dried limes and kidney beans. Ash reshteh is a substantial soup containing herbs, chickpeas, wheat-based reshteh noodles, kashk and fried onions. Abgoosht combines lamb, chickpeas and dried limes, with bread served alongside. Ask about stock, thickening and finishing ingredients.
Breads, sweets and regional recipes: Flatbreads such as sangak and lavash accompany meals, while pastries and sweets include pistachio nougat, pistachio brittle, fruit leather, ice cream and faloodeh with rosewater and starch vermicelli. Regional recipes vary: Fuman kolucheh can have wheat dough and walnut filling, and Sholeh Zard may have almond slivers. Confirm fillings, dough, dairy and toppings rather than inferring from the name.
Persian Reshteh Noodles: Traditional reshteh noodles are primarily wheat-based and appear in ash reshteh and reshteh polo. Ask whether the noodles are wheat-based, whether another noodle is mixed in, and whether shared cooking water or serving utensils are used.

A dish with no recorded connection is unresolved. Do not turn missing catalogue data into a claim that it excludes your selected foods.
Direct foods, derivatives and prepared ingredients are shown together. Use the filters to separate direct forms from recipe-dependent examples.
| Component | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Sauce, stock or dressing | Ask for the complete recipe or original package, including sub-ingredients. |
| Premix or seasoning | Check every flour, flavouring, extract, carrier and blend component. |
| Replacement ingredient | Check the replacement against the complete avoidance list, not only the food it replaces. |
Use recorded words to recognise ingredients and ask a focused question. A word list is not a translated safety statement.

| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 · Find every ingredient list | Read the main product and every separate sauce, soup, topping or seasoning sachet. |
| 2 · Check names and derivatives | Look for wheat, recorded forms and compound ingredients. |
| 3 · Read the wider declaration | Check allergen and shared-production wording, and confirm it applies to the exact product and size. |
| 4 · Resolve uncertainty | Ask for the original package or contact the maker. If the information cannot be confirmed, keep the product unresolved. |
Labelling rules vary by country and by how food is sold. A restaurant meal, loose bakery item or repacked food may not carry the same information as a sealed retail product.
| Conversation step | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Explain the complete list | State wheat together and explain in your own words whether each is an allergy, intolerance or another requirement. |
| Check the recipe | Ask a chef, manager or another person who can verify every ingredient and bought-in component. |
| Check preparation | Discuss shared oil, water, grills, utensils, work surfaces and substitutions where these matter to you. |
| Confirm the final order | Repeat the agreed version and ask who will verify it when the meal is served. |
A useful questionWhich equipment and utensils will be used for this order?
A useful questionWhat else is cooked in this oil or water?
A useful questionCan we check the ingredients in the prepared sauce, stock or mix?
TRY THIS“I need to avoid wheat. Could you check every ingredient in this dish, including sauces, stock, seasonings and garnishes, and tell me how it will be prepared?”
An honest inability to confirm is useful information. Ask which other item the kitchen can explain completely, or choose another venue or packaged product whose ingredients you can verify.
