What Are Common Cross-reactivities with Other Allergens?
Discussion
The most common allergic foods are cow’s milk (most common), egg, peanut, tree nut, soy, wheat, fish and shellfish.

Weekend Recipe: A Matcha Breakfast Bowl With Kiwi

So if you’ve only used matcha in tea, smoothies or ice cream, I strongly suggest trying it in a bowl. Adding in some of your favorite fruits, such as kiwis, will only make it tastier and more nutritious.
