Legumes in people’s minds are beans and beans, which do not have a high degree of allergy.
We have two types of beans:
1. The family of agricultural legumes similar to beans and soybeans.
Allergy to soy is very important and even soy milk is allergenic.
2. The legume family that is underground, such as peanuts, cashews, ground pistachios, or piñatas

A person who is allergic to peanuts can do anything, be it raw, roasted, butter, etc., he is allergic to it, and his allergy will always remain, causing skin allergies, hives and eczema, and it can cause respiratory problems, and most importantly, it can cause anaphylaxis. create and become deadly.
Peanuts can cross-react with some plant pollens.
Agricultural legumes:
Soybean: Its allergenicity is high and its protein is equivalent to meat, and many people use it. It should be said that even soy dust can cause allergies.
Someone who is allergic to soy has a cross-reaction to some other legumes, but it is not necessary to prohibit people who are allergic to soy and peanuts from eating other legumes.
Important point about soy:
Soybeans, like peanuts, are 10% sensitive to birch or alder (in the north of the country) and a smaller percentage are sensitive to peanuts.
We have a series of other legumes that are trees, such as: acacia, Burhan silk flower tree.
They are definitely not edible, but if we pass under this tree, allergy symptoms will appear.
There are a series of other legumes that are shrubs, such as mangrove scab
