What to watch out for

  • baked products, like cakes and biscuits
  • cereals
  • Asian dishes
  • ice cream
  • health bars
  • pastry

Alternatives

  • Sunflower seeds and pine nuts are seeds and add crunch to recipes - but some people are allergic to both seeds and nuts so it should be checked before using
  • Chinese water chestnuts are corns, but beware of true water chestnuts
  • Mushrooms taste nutty but lack the crunchy texture
