Frequently Asked Questions

Are nuts considered kosher?

Most nuts are considered kosher and are acceptable to eat for Passover. Peanuts are typically the only exception to the rule. You will also have to check to make sure there are no added ingredients that may violate kosher restrictions. Most kosher nuts contain a label stating that they follow kosher guidelines.

Are nuts safe to eat daily?

As long as you’re not allergic (in which case, you shouldn’t eat nuts at all — of course), nuts are a great addition to your daily diet. Opt for a handful between or after meals. Nuts have lots of protein and fiber which can help you lose weight — or simply aid your digestion.

Are nuts safe for children to eat?

Always check with your doctor before introducing a new food to your child’s diet. In general, it’s safe to feed nuts to your children over 6 months, as long as they don’t have preexisting allergies. You should not give your kids whole nuts until they are over the age of 4, because they can pose a choking risk.
