Abstract

Allergic reactions to legumes are common.Food allergy to cooked, but not raw, pea has been rarely reported in the literature. This case series describes five children who had various IgE-mediated symptoms upon consumption of cooked pea, but tolerated raw pea. Skin testing then confirmed positive responses to cooked, but not raw, peas. It is important to consider allergy to cooked legumes, even in the context of raw legume tolerance.
