Guest Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 A friend invited me to lunch at Mad Greens. They have a really amazing menu that allows one to select all of their allergens and preferences and it returns menus choices. So, I entered W30 restrictions and got a nice list. I noticed that it excluded avocado even though I didn't. That makes me wonder how well the little menu works. Our location is really loud, so conversations with the staff will be a challenge for me. I'll probably call ahead, but I'm curious about the avocado and it's ingredients. (I can choose olive oil or olives for my fat.) Anyone care to take a look and chime in?

Guest Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 So, after playing with the menu a bit and calling the local Mad Greens, it seems as though a lot of ingredients were excluded for citric acid. At the restaurant, the girl told me that they dip avocado in lemon juice to preserve the color. So, the new question: are there sulfites in lemon juice and citric acid? A friend who goes to Md Greens is avoiding citric acid for IC and now I am wondering if she should be avoiding sulfites and if I should be avoiding citric acid. I appreciate any insight.

Sleeve Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 The lemon juice I use from a bottle when I'm lazy (Sicilia) contains sulfur dioxide as its preservative. This is a closely related oxide but not a sulfite. It is also not absurd to think that a place that takes such care to isolate ingredients might use fresh lemons.
