I don’t understand, peanuts are legumes, yet are considered a nut when it comes to allergies. To make it more confusing, what’s the actual difference between a nut and a seed? Pine nuts are a high nut allergen but sunflower seeds aren’t. Then there’s the coconut, which isn’t a nut at all, but I cant bring in coconut products to daughters class because they call it a nut?
