  1. nuts

    Nuts are hard-shelled fruits that come from a variety of plants and trees. They are typically high in fat, protein and fibre and are often used in cooking or eaten raw as a snack. The term "nut" is used broadly in culinary contexts and may not always align with the botanical definition. Examples include almonds, walnuts, peanuts, and cashews. Some nuts, such as chestnuts and acorns, are not typically consumed as food.

U.S. National Library of Medicine

  1. Nuts

    Botanically, a type of single-seeded fruit in which the pericarp enclosing the seed is a hard woody shell. In common usage the term is used loosely for any hard, oil-rich kernel. Of those commonly eaten, only hazel, filbert, and chestnut are strictly nuts. Walnuts, pecans, almonds, and coconuts are really drupes. Brazil nuts, pistachios, macadamias, and cashews are really seeds with a hard shell derived from the testa rather than the pericarp.
