Tree nuts (Coconut flour)
Coconut is classified as a tree nut by the FDA (though botanically a drupe). Allergy is rare but can cause severe reactions via proteins like 11S globulin. Cross-reactivity with other tree nuts (e.g., walnut, hazelnut) is possible, particularly in highly sensitive individuals.
