Coconut and the Tree Nut Free Diet
Coconut is the fruit of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) and is widely consumed for its water, milk, oil, and flesh. It is not botanically classified as a nut but is a drupe, which is a type of fruit. Coconuts are used in a wide range of products from food to cosmetics. While not a tree nut, some people may still avoid coconuts due to allergen labeling practices and the potential for cross-reactivity in those with tree nut allergies.
