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.
