So, what is orzechy?

Orzechy is the Polish word for nuts. On food packaging, it typically refers to tree nuts or peanuts, appearing either in the ingredient declaration or within allergen warning statements. Nuts are botanical seeds or dry fruits harvested from various trees and shrubs, such as walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews, and pecans, as well as legumes like peanuts. After harvesting, they are mechanically cleaned, shelled, dried, and sometimes roasted, chopped, or ground into pastes for use in food production. This term frequently appears on Polish food items, including confectionery, chocolate bars, baked goods, breakfast cereals, and snack mixes.

orzechy is vegan because nuts are entirely of plant origin. They are agricultural products obtained directly from plants, requiring no animal inputs, animal tissues, or animal-derived processing aids during harvesting and basic preparation. As a standalone ingredient or component in food formulations, nuts contain no animal substances. Provided the finished product does not incorporate separate non-vegan additives such as dairy or gelatin, the presence of orzechy is completely compatible with a vegan diet.
