this is really cool:

It may be possible that our future will hold an allergen-free peanut. At least that is the hope of North Carolina researchers, who recently found a way to process what appears to be harmless peanuts. And for the 3 million people alone in the United States who are allergic to peanuts, this would come as a welcome surprise.Legume testing has been underway at the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. Results show that one hundred percent of the allergens in roasted whole peanuts were virtually eliminated. These "allergy free peanuts" were given to peanut allergic individuals, whose blood tests showed no sign of reaction to these nuts. Furthermore, the taste of these allergen free peanuts is just as rich as the real ones.Will this be the answer to peanut allergy sufferers everywhere? The jury is still out. But there are high hopes that allergen-free peanuts will bring relief to millions in the future.
