Looking for Some Peanut or Tree Nut Alternatives?
Looking for some peanut/tree nut alternatives for recipes you’ve been wanting to make? Try the following…
PRETZELS
To create the chopped nuts effect, pretzels are just perfect. Smash them up roughly and add them to a salad or use them to coat chicken for added crunch.
BEANS
Soybeans, chickpeas, roasting navy beans, or cannellini beans can all provide a similar taste and texture to peanuts. Beans are great for soaking in chili, garlic, or almost any herb.
SEEDS
Replicate flavor and texture of peanuts and tree nuts by using a variety of different types of seeds - sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia, nigella, and watermelon seeds can all be made into pastes and butters which mirror aspects of peanut butter.
WARNING: If you or your child has severe allergies, talk to your allergist before you try any one of these products. It is possible you might have problems with more than one food.
