There is some debate on whether garbanzo beans, also known as chickpeas, are classified as tree nuts. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, tree nuts are defined as “any product of an edible nut-bearing tree.” This would exclude garbanzo beans, as they are legumes and not trees. However, some people who are allergic to tree nuts may also be allergic to garbanzo beans. So, it is best to check with your doctor before consuming either food if you have a tree nut allergy.<\/p>\n

No, garbanzo beans are not tree nuts, they are actually a type of legume.<\/p>\n

Can I eat chickpeas with a nut allergy? <\/h2>\n

Most individuals with peanut allergy can tolerate other legumes, such as peas, soya beans, lentils, and chickpeas. Fewer than 5-10% of peanut allergic people have an allergy to other legumes. This suggests that the majority of people with peanut allergies can eat other legumes without having a reaction.<\/p>\n

If you have a peanut or tree nut allergy, you may be wondering if you need to avoid chickpeas. Most people with peanut allergies can tolerate other legumes without a reaction, so you should not need to avoid chickpeas unless you have had an allergic reaction to them in the past. If you are unsure, talk to your allergist to see if chickpeas are safe for you to eat.<\/p>\n
