Description

Cashew nut is also classified as a potent allergenic food known to be responsible for triggering severe and systemic immune reactions. Studies have found that people allergic to cashew are almost always allergic to pistachio as well. This is a process known as cross-reactivity - in which the proteins in one food are similar in structure to those in another food. People allergic to cashew can also be allergic to other nuts.
