Order Pine Nut (Pignoles) Allergy Test | SeedsPine nuts, also called pignoles, are the edible seeds of certain pine trees and appear in pesto, salads, and baked goods.

This test measures specific IgE antibodies in the blood to help identify a sensitivity to pine nut proteins.
About Pine Nut (Pignoles) Allergy Test | Seeds in Suffolk
Pine nut allergy testing looks for immune system antibodies that target pine nut proteins.
The test uses a blood sample to measure immunoglobulin E, or IgE, antibodies specific to pine nut. IgE is the antibody class most closely linked to immediate allergic reactions. A elevated result suggests the immune system has been sensitized to pine nut proteins, though sensitization does not always produce symptoms.
Pine nuts are seeds rather than true tree nuts, which matters because people with pine nut allergy do not necessarily react to almonds, cashews, or walnuts. Reactions can range from mild oral itching to hives, digestive upset, or breathing difficulty. Because pine nuts are used in many prepared foods, identifying the trigger can help with avoidance.
Results are interpreted alongside a person's history and other findings. A negative result makes IgE-mediated pine nut allergy less likely, while a positive result supports further evaluation. This test does not diagnose other types of food reactions, such as intolerances or non-IgE mediated conditions.
