Is there a risk to people with allergies to nuts (are some people allergic to coconut?)?

CA is this one of your underlined jokes?? coconut isnt a nut... or is this me just being a fruit??

No, I really didn't know that a coconut is a fruit and not a nut.  Thanks for pointing that out.  So I presume that there is no risk to those with nut allergies then?

I did see somewhere that the Food and Drug Admin in the US began including coconut as a tree nut a couple of years back...

Nuts are taken more seriously in the US though:

Original thread here Kindly provided by Panpot

Ingredients:
50 gms Cumin Seed

Ingredients:
50 gms Ground Cumin

Sorry to ask this question again but I'm going to try this base soon and want to confirm if it's 50 gms cumin seed or cumin powder that's used...Ta

I thought it looked more like cumin powder, like it had just been chucked in and not mixed, but looking again you may be right!

But then taking into account a response by Panpot earlier in the thread made me also feel it was powder.  Bearing in mind seed may be hard to blend, using powder would make sense!

Joshallen2k it looked like cumin powder and I assume so because he would always say cumin seed when it was used and just cumin when powder, this is one of the questions I will go back with but I would put my life on it that it was powder.

Cheers

It also looks like seeds to me in the photo (they seem to be floating?)

But I don't suppose it really matters, whether you use seeds or ground, provided you are able to blend the seeds well at the end (and maybe it's still OK even if you don't?)
