Tree Nut Allergies: A Traveler's Challenge

Tree nut allergy covers a broad category of nuts — almonds, cashews, walnuts, pistachios, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, pecans, pine nuts, and more. The challenge for travelers is that different nuts are prominent in different cuisines, and translation can be tricky when you need to communicate about multiple specific nuts.

Middle Eastern cuisines use pistachios and walnuts extensively. French and Italian pastries feature almonds, hazelnuts, and pine nuts. Southeast Asian cuisine uses cashews. Indian cooking uses almonds and cashews in sauces. A tree nut allergy card that lists all relevant nuts in the local language is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does tree nut include peanuts?

No. Peanuts are legumes, not tree nuts. If you have both allergies, select both "Tree Nuts" and "Peanuts" when creating your card.

Which cuisine is most dangerous for tree nut allergies?

Middle Eastern cuisine (baklava, hummus, tahini), French pastries (macarons, frangipane), and Indian cuisine (curry sauces with cashews/almonds) are among the highest-risk cuisines for tree nut allergy sufferers.

Does the card cover coconut?

Coconut is technically a tree nut under FDA regulations, though many people with tree nut allergies can tolerate coconut. Add coconut specifically if you also have a coconut allergy.
