Pistachio (pistacia vera) belongs to the cashew family and the tree produces seeds that are frequently consumed as food. A very high fraction (approx. 21%) of proteins are present in pistachio seed. Some of these proteins (for example 11S globulin Pis v 2, 2S albumin Pis v 1 and the 7S vicillin Pis v 3) are also found to cause an allergic reaction.
