Italiano term

frutti in guscio

Da Italiano a Inglese Medico/Sanitario Medicina (generale) Food allergies
One of the food groups which often give rise to food allergies.

"Nei Paesi occidentali i principali allergeni alimentari sono contenuti in uova, latte, pesce, arachidi, soia, frutti in guscio, frutta ed ortaggi."

The fact that they mention fruit and peanuts (specifically) leads me to believe they may mean other nuts by this term (such as almonds etc.)

Any suggstions?
Proposed translations (Inglese)

nuts

I believe that frutti in guscio refers to all kinds of nuts in general. I grow various types in my garden (walnuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts) and they are referred to as my "frutti in guscio" by my Italian friends/acquaintances. Maybe peanuts are referred to separately because of the high incidence of peanut allergies.
Peer comment(s):

agree WendellR : A web search for "frutto/frutti in guscio" confirms this; the other reason for the distinction is that peanuts are legumes, not nuts.

"When preparing snacks try to include a handful of walnuts, hazelnuts, and other shell fruits, which are rich in monounsaturated oils (as is olive oil) and omega-3; they also contain protein, fibre, minerals (magnesium), selenium and manganese in the case of the Brazil nut, vitamin E (hazelnuts and almonds) and folates (vitamin B9)."

neutral WendellR : Except that I have no idea what a "shell fruit" is in English. I'm going to guess that the ECARF page is a bad translation from German; 'shell fruit' doesn't get you much from google.

I believe shell fruits is an umbrella term in technical parlance. But I agree with you it sounds weird
