Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 In New Scientist there was an enlightening letter. Peanuts actually aren't, they are legumes. That's why you see " this product may contain nuts " on packets of peanuts. So does this mean people with peanut allergies can eat tree nuts?

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 > Peanuts are not nuts. They are legumes! Very true. But most people treat them like nuts, just like eggplants, cukes and tomatoes are technically fruits, but treated like veggies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
