Pine nuts

[Hazellnut]

Are they actually nuts as in 'can't feed to child under 5' or not ?

Sometimes they are called kernels (and so I had assumed they were ok) hence the confusion. Perhaps I am just being daft - any thoughts gratefully received.... TIA

Perhaps have just managed to answer my own question - according to foods standards agency, its only a risk of choking that means you shouldn't give them before 5 rather than allergy related as I had thought.

Would still be interested to know if a pine nut is indeed a nut.

and in fact, according to same website, pine nuts are seeds not nuts so had I done some research first I wouldn't have had to have posted this thread. Have had a nice conversation with myself however .

Just seena this

No, pine nuts are not nuts.

Lol.

Sometimes conversations are better when you talk to yourself

oi Are you butting in on the conversation I'm having with myself

Thanks anyway ....

I've often wondered that myself - but had sort of concluded that they must be seeds...
