Are Nuts Gluten-Free?

Nine bowls of nine different nuts. Are Nuts Gluten-Free?

Yes, all single-ingredient nuts are gluten-free. That means the label will list just one ingredient, the nuts.

Gluten-free nuts include (but are not limited to) peanuts, almonds, walnuts, cashews, chestnuts, pecans, pistachios, hazelnuts, pine, macadamia and Brazil nuts.

Spreads made from nuts, like almond butter, cashew butter, walnut butter, and pecan butter, are usually gluten-free, but be sure to read the ingredients list before using. Peanut butter is also gluten-free. Visit our peanut butter page.
