Nuts

[LuvMoosic4life]

I know a lot of people have issues with nuts. I love eating nuts and usually dont have too much of a problem unless i eat more than the serving. Typically Peanuts are the worst (they sit in my stomach, especially peanut butter) and cashews I just stay away from... I know they are in the bean family too though.....

BUUUT For some reason t I found that I can eat pistachios until they come out of my ears and have no problem!!!!

Is anyone else like this? or am I just imagining things? I'm thinking that maybe tree nuts are easier for me to digest than other types....i dunnoo.....almonds usually dont bother me, until I have too many but pistachios, I can never have too many

There's an important difference between peanuts and tree nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, pistachios, brazil nuts, etc...). Peanuts are actually legumes and they grow underground. In addition to peanut allergies, people can have problems with aflatoxins (a type of mold) that commonly grows on peanuts. Tree nuts are the edible seeds of fruits that grow on trees.

Some people have problems with both kinds of "nuts," but biologically they're quite different.
