Storage Tips: 

Caution: 

• Blood Sugar Drops: Excessive consumption can lead to hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood sugar), particularly if taken alongside diabetes medications.

• Allergic Reactions: Individuals allergic to legumes (e.g., peanuts, chickpeas) may react; ragweed or related plants may experience allergic symptoms such as rashes or respiratory issues.

• Pregnancy: Generally safe in small doses, but excessive consumption might lead to uterine contractions.

• Medication Interactions: Can interact with blood-thinning medications, diuretics, lithium, or medications for diabetes or high blood pressure.

• Diuretic Effect: Acts as a natural diuretic, which may cause dehydration or electrolyte imbalances if consumed in excess.
