Understanding Food Allergies 🤔🍎

Before we jump into some tasty recipes, let’s take a moment to understand more about food allergies.

Food allergy means that the body has an immune reaction to certain proteins found in food. Symptoms can be mild or severe, such as hives, swelling, vomiting, difficulty breathing, and anaphylactic shock. Common allergens are milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish, and shellfish. It is essential to read food labels and talk to your doctor or allergist to determine the allergen and anaphylaxis action plan.

Safe Ingredient Substitutions 🙅🏽‍♀️🌾

If you have a food allergy, you can still enjoy many foods by substituting ingredients. Here are some common substitutions:

• Milk: Use plant-based milks like almond, soy, or coconut.
• Wheat: Use gluten-free flours like rice, coconut, almond, or chickpea.
• Eggs: Try flaxseed or chia seeds as a vegan alternative.
• Nuts: Use sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or sesame seeds.
