tree nuts

Tree nuts are the seeds of certain types of trees, often used as food. They grow inside hard shells, and when harvested, the edible parts are processed into snacks, oils, or ingredients. Common examples include almonds, walnuts, cashews, and pecans. These nuts are rich in healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals. However, they are also common allergens for some individuals and can trigger allergic reactions. While they are nutritious and versatile, proper handling and awareness are important for those with nut allergies.
