Peanuts are a type of plant called a legume, which also includes peas, lentils, chickpeas, and wattles, as well as the black bean tree of Queensland. The proteins in peanuts are very different from those in tree nuts like almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pistachios, or walnuts. So, just because someone has an allergy to peanuts doesn't mean they are also allergic to tree nuts. In both Western and Asian cooking, peanuts, tree nuts, and seeds are used a lot. This is a big problem for people who are very allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, or seeds. Any product that contains peanuts, tree nuts, or sesame must say so on the label. Checking the labels of all foods before buying them is important because of this. 
On the ASCIA dietary avoidance information sheets, you can find more information about how to read food labels, choose foods, and avoid allergens. Most people with a food allergy get hives (urticaria), swell up around their mouths, and throw up within 30 minutes of eating the food. There may also be a pain in the stomach or diarrhea. Severe allergic reactions, called anaphylaxis, can cause any of the following symptoms: trouble breathing or a wheezing sound, swelling of the tongue or throat, trouble talking or a hoarse voice, wheezing or a persistent cough, persistent dizziness, and/or passing out. Young children may turn pale and lose their shape. Rarely do people die in Australia because of a food allergy, but people often have mild, moderate, or severe allergic reactions. Peanuts and tree nuts are two of the most common foods that can cause anaphylaxis, which can kill you. 
Are Peanuts Tree Nuts
Peanuts are in the family of legumes, not the tree nuts family. Most people are allergic to tree nuts. Almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pine nuts (pignolias), pistachio nuts, and walnuts are all tree nuts that people are most likely to be allergic to. Some people who are allergic to tree nuts may be allergic to more than one kind. Others may be allergic to only one kind of tree nut. If there is no chance of cross-contamination and a person can eat a certain type of tree nut, there is no reason to stop eating that tree nut. It can stay in their diet. 
They can talk to their allergist if they aren't sure which tree nuts, they can eat. Peanut and tree nut allergies are most common in babies and young kids, but adults can also develop them for the first time. Peanut allergy is common (3 percent of infants have it), hard to avoid, and in some cases, even small amounts of peanuts can cause symptoms. Some people can have allergic reactions to food because it has proteins in it. If a person is allergic to a protein that is only in one food, like peanuts or eggs, then they can only have an allergic reaction if they eat that food. Some people may be allergic to more than one food because they are allergic to more than one protein in more than one food. People who are allergic to nuts, seeds, or legumes might not know what it means when they hear the words nuts, seeds, or legumes. Rarely can you use the words "tree nuts" or "seeds" to tell if someone is allergic to foods that look or taste the same? 
Nut Allergy
When your immune system overreacts to the proteins in nuts, you have a nut allergy. Your body sees them as possible dangers and tries to get rid of them. This is a reaction to an allergy. Even a small amount that you swallow or breathe in can make it happen. It's easy to stay away from nuts on their own, but they're also in a lot of other foods, and you might not always know. Causes of nut allergies: The tiny proteins in nuts are not affected by things like heat or acid, so they are still there after the nuts are processed, cooked, or even digested. Some people's bodies make antibodies to fight these intact proteins because they are sensitive to them. The antibodies stick to the proteins. 
This causes a chemical called histamine to be made by your immune system. The symptoms of an allergic reaction are caused by a chemical called histamine. Tree nuts are not the same as peanuts. But if you have an allergy to one, you might also need to stay away from the other. Make sure by asking your doctor. if you have a peanut allergy, you should do these:
- Lay on your back flat.
- If you have epinephrine, use it. If your symptoms don't get better after 5 to 15 minutes, use it again.
- Call 911 to get help with your health.
- If you are allergic to nuts, you should always have two epinephrine auto-injectors with you and know how to use them.
- Children who are very allergic to peanuts may benefit from taking the drug Palforzia, which can help reduce the symptoms they experience.
Peanut Allergy
Peanut allergy is the most prevalent food allergy in children under the age of 18, and the third most frequent food allergy in adults. Peanut allergy usually lasts a person's whole life. When a person who is allergic to peanuts comes into contact with peanuts, the proteins in the peanuts bind to IgE antibodies that the person's immune system has made. When the person is exposed to peanut protein again, usually by eating it, their immune system reacts, causing symptoms that can be mild or very severe. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has only approved a kind of treatment for peanut allergy, which is called Palforzia. Peanut oral immunotherapy, for example, is a non-FDA-approved treatment method for peanut allergies, although there are alternative options available. Peanuts are not the same as tree nuts, which grow on trees and include almonds, cashews, pistachios, walnuts, pecans, and more. (Although about 40% of children who are allergic to tree nuts are also allergic to peanuts.) ² Peanuts grow underground and are a type of plant called legume. Beans, peas, lentils, and soybeans are also types of legumes. If you're allergic to peanuts, that doesn't mean you're more likely to be allergic to other legumes. But people who are allergic to peanuts can also be allergic to lupine, which is another bean that is often used in vegan cooking. 
- How to Stop an Allergic Reaction to Nuts:
Ask your server. Foods that don't include peanuts or tree nuts might nevertheless be contaminated if they're manufactured in the same area or with the same equipment as food that contains the nuts. It can also happen in restaurants with a lot of ingredients and in ice cream shops where scoops and other tools are shared. Every time you buy something, check the label. The recipe for food is sometimes changed. Outside the kitchen, take a look. Nuts can also be found in shampoos, lotions, and food for pets. Before you buy or use something, check the label. 
What Are Tree Nuts
As the name implies, tree nuts grow on trees. You can be allergic to more than one kind of tree nut. If you are allergic to one tree nut, that doesn't mean you are allergic to all tree nuts. However, you are more likely to be allergic to more than one tree nut. This is because the different tree nuts have proteins that are similar to each other. This is called cross-reactivity. People who are allergic to tree nuts are also more likely to be allergic to sesame. This is called cross-reactivity. It's important to know that peanuts, which are legumes, come from a different family than tree nuts. Not everyone who is allergic to tree nuts is also allergic to peanuts.

Most people know that peanuts are not actually classified as nuts. They are actually legumes that belong to the same family as peas. But did you know that Botanically, a nut is a dry fruit with a single seed inside a hard shell? Acorns, chestnuts, and hazelnuts are all examples of nuts that are really nuts. 
Peanuts Vs Tree Nuts
Tree nuts are tree seeds. Almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, Brazil nuts, pecans, cashews, etc. grow on trees. The exterior shell is firm and leathery, unlike apricots and avocados. Most fruits' outer peel and tasty flesh around the seed are eaten. Imagine biting into a luscious peach; the skin and flesh are soft. Tree nut skin and flesh are too hard to consume. Eat the seed. In a nut, the seed is surrounded by a thin, edible covering, unlike a peach pit. Ever wonder why peanuts and tree nuts are two of the top eight allergens?

Some tree nuts are drupes. I know it's hard to understand, so let me try to explain. The definition of a nut is a hard-shelled pod that contains both the fruit and seed of the plant. Hazelnuts and acorns belong to this group. Drupes are fruits that have a hard, stony shell around the seed. Drupes have three layers: the exocarp on the outside, the mesocarp in the middle, which is the fleshy part, and the endocarp, which is the hard, woody part around the seed. Peaches, mangoes, pistachios, coconuts, almonds, and cashews are all examples of drupes.
