Did you know?

Peanuts are not actually nuts, it is a member of the legume family and is related to soya beans, lentils, garden peas and chickpeas.
True tree nuts actually grow on trees including pecan, hazelnut, walnut, almond, cashew, brazil and macadamia nuts. The proteins in peanuts are very different to those in tree nuts.

Despite this about 30% of people with peanut allergy also react to one or more tree nuts.

People with peanut allergy have about a 5-10% chance of also having reactions to legumes.

Children with peanut allergy are also at higher risk of having egg allergy and sesame seed allergy.

Activated nuts are nuts that have been soaked in salt water from 7 to 24 hours which stimulates early germination and the sprouting process.

Despite the hype, activated nuts offer no added benefit in the context of a varied diet. There is not enough evidence to prove this claim.

So, unless you prefer activated nuts, stick to raw or roasted and eat a variety of nuts to gain all the benefits.
