These are like death bars to me. I can eat a whole jar of nutella, but for some reason whole unprocessed hazelnuts make my throat swell up, go figure.
(I guess I shouldn’t complain since nature gifted me pollen allergies on easy mode. I’ll never accidentally eat a handful of whole hazelnuts the way someone might accidentally touch a dust fragment particle of shellfish lol)
Probably because there is so little actual hazelnut in nutella anymore, and the hazelnut that is in nutella has been processed with the skins removed. I think Nutella is ~12% hazelnut, so not a lot.
Probably why you are less reactive to one of the two.
As someone with pretty severe environmental allergies to dust, pollen, you name it, I’d take that over any food allergy any day.
Now, if allergy shots didn’t exist, my story would be very different. I’ve been getting them for nearly 20 years and they’re the only reason I don’t have to worry about going outside when I want to.
