Key Findings
- The study from the Research Center Borstel, Germany, identifies legumes like beans, peas, lentils, chickpeas, lupine, cowpea, pigeon pea, and fenugreek as new potential allergen sources
- Severe allergic reactions, including food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis, are notably associated with peas, lupine, soybean, lentils, and chickpea
- The study highlights the importance of recognizing IgE cross-reactions among different legumes, which can cause allergic reactions in individuals allergic to similar proteins in other legumes
