Green beans
Green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) may trigger IgE-mediated allergy, primarily via proteins like Phaseolin or vicilin. Reactions range from mild oral allergy syndrome (OAS) to anaphylaxis; cross-reactivity with other legumes (e.g., peanuts, soy) is possible but rare. Cooking may reduce allergenicity.
