Funnily enough, one of the things we were recommended was a pack of mini nut butter jars. Made specifically for the purpose of being a easy way to expose little ones to a variety of nuts before they could eat the nuts themselves.
Then at each meal put a tiny amount on a spoon and give to the little one before feeding the actual meal, and each meal use the next one butter.
It was great. Sure I can buy peanut butter, or maybe cashew at a grocery store. But I've never seen pecan butter, Brazil nut butter etc.

I've heard stories of parents feeding their infants peanut butter in hospital car parks, just in case...

That’s not a new business idea. It’s been a thing since they announced the new guidelines. You can just buy the stuff https://www.amazon.com/Stage-Mix-ins-Allergen-Introduction-A...
My wife and I were always going to feed our child anything and she’s liked eating food off our plate anyway since she was 6 months old or so, but it was something we considered. So far the only thing we haven’t given her is shellfish.

Sadly, you cannot -- all the options in that listing are "currently unavailable."

haha, hilarious. I was going off past purchases. If you search, though, there are many alternatives https://www.amazon.com/Ready-Set-Food-Organic-Puree/dp/B0D9Y...

A feeder early would be so much better than long series of injections, that have been used to build up immunity later in life. For serious sufferers of pollen type allergies.
I don't know if ingesting pollens early would help, but it's a thought! Mixed into honey, perhaps.
