What to know about pili nuts
Pili nuts are a buttery Philippine tree nut (Canarium ovatum) that keto and low-carb eaters buy for their unusually high fat and low starch. Their one strong trigger is nickel: pili is graded D, putting it with the nut and seed group that dominates dietary nickel intake, which matters if you get eczema or dermatitis flares from nickel foods. Salicylates, oxalate and lectins all sit at a moderate C. The good news buried in the data is histamine: pili is clean there, unlike walnuts, almonds and cashews, so it is one of the few nuts a histamine-intolerant reader can usually keep.
Watch for
- High in nickel (graded D).Nuts and seeds are the single largest dietary nickel source for most people, so pili is a plausible culprit behind hand eczema, pompholyx or a systemic nickel allergy flare
- Moderate oxalate, which is actually the headline if you are comparing nuts: pili sits at C while almonds, cashews and walnuts are all graded E, so switching to pili is a real oxalate reduction rather than a lateral move
- Moderate salicylate and moderate lectin content, both dose-dependent.A small handful behaves very differently from the half-jar that pili nuts invite
- A true tree nut, in the Burseraceae family.It is not botanically related to almonds or cashews, but tree nut allergy advice still applies and there is no reason to assume you tolerate pili because you tolerate other nuts
- FODMAP content is unrated, not proven low.Pili has never been through Monash testing, so treat gut symptoms as unexplained rather than ruled out
