nut allergy, what else can I use too...

[charmer48]

I cannot eat ANY nuts and I would like to make bases for flans etc, ice cream and soft fillings for the flans and pies. Could I use sunflower seeds, seasame seeds or hemp?

Would love some help as I am missing out on so many goodies...but I cant stand the itching I get from the allergy

Many thanks

I always replace cashews with about 2/3 thai coconut meat and 1/3 hemp seeds. I made "pumpkin pie" using this and adding a little psyllium to help it set up better. I made the crust with ground up coconut flakes and dates with spices. It was a hit!

Most raw recipes are pretty flexible and you can easily replace nuts with whatever works for you. Good luck!

I use sunflower seeds for both pies and ice cream.
Today's ice cream was bananas, raspberries, blueberries and sunflowers.

You'd have to pry the leftovers out of my brother's extremely-strong-from-20yrs-of-karate hands! I pretty much followed Sarma's Pumpkin Tart recipe, but used whole carrots instead of carrot juice plus the cashew replacement from above. Super easy to make and super good :D

I’m a nut lover, chocoholic at the same time, and every time I used to eat those I’m very satisfied for the whole day. But then some of my friends can’t eat those because of their food allergies, glad to know that there are Good Food Allergy Recipes (http://allergiesandcures.com/index.php/Food-Allergy-Treatment-and-Cures/the-importance-of-finding-good-food-allergy-recipes.html) they can use as an alternative. You have the same problem with my friends, but then there are some alternatives so nothing to worry about. Also the sunflower seeds could be your alternative to nuts and you can now enjoy your goodies.

Have a nice day and keep smiling!! :)
