Wait, wait, I read on this forum that cashews are also legumes just like peanuts, wouldn't that mean they are not tree nuts? This actually helps you none anyway because you shouldn't eat cashews, they are high in carbs. Just wondering. I like the unshelled peanuts the work to open them actually causes me to eat less.

Oh and another thing, it's funny that you posted this and I never thought of it before. My fiance has always been allergic to nuts, especially walnuts. But he can eat peanuts and peanut butter. So maybe he is actually allergic to tree nuts. He never got it looked into he just knows he gets very ill when he eats nuts. I will have to mention this to him.

Would anyone happen to have a list of tree nuts?
