Order Pine Nut (Pignoles) Allergy Test | SeedsA pine nut allergy test measures the amount of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood that react to pine nut proteins. Pine nuts, also called pignoles, are the edible seeds of certain pine trees and appear in pesto, salads, baked goods, and some regional cuisines. Because reactions to seeds can range from mild to severe, identifying a specific sensitivity through testing gives a clearer picture than symptom history alone.
About Pine Nut (Pignoles) Allergy Test | Seeds in Hercules
The test relies on a blood sample rather than a skin prick, which makes it a practical option for people who cannot pause antihistamines or who have sensitive skin.
IgE is an antibody the immune system produces when it mistakenly identifies a harmless food protein as a threat. The pine nut allergy test quantifies the IgE that binds specifically to pine nut proteins, and the result is reported as a numeric value with a reference range.
Pine nuts are seeds, not true tree nuts, though cross-reactivity with other seeds and nuts is possible. A positive result indicates sensitization; it does not by itself confirm that eating pine nuts will cause symptoms. A clinician interprets the number alongside the person's history and, when appropriate, other testing.
Results are typically available within one to three business days. Preparation is minimal and follows the lab's instructions. Because the sample is blood, the test can be performed without the washout period that skin testing sometimes requires.
