List of culinary nuts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to the botanical definition, nuts are a particular kind of dry fruit.[1] Walnuts and acorns are example of nuts, under this definition. In culinary terms, however, the term is used more broadly to include fruits, and even seeds, that are not botanically qualified as nuts, but that have a similar appearance and culinary role. Examples of culinary nuts include almonds, peanuts and cashews.[2][3]
