Astonishing Growth in Tree Nuts Industry

A nut is a fruit that consists of an inedible hard shell and a seed that is generally edible. In common usage and in the culinary sense, a variety of dried seeds are referred to as nuts, but in the botanical context "nut" implies that the shell does not open to release the seed (indehiscent). Translating "nut" in certain languages ​​often requires paraphrases because the word is ambiguous.

Most seeds come from fruits that peel off naturally, as opposed to nuts like hazelnuts, chestnuts, and acorns, which have hard shell walls and come from a compound ovary. The general and original usage of the term is less restrictive, and many nuts (in a culinary sense) such as almonds, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, and Brazil nuts are not nuts in a botanical sense. The common usage of the term often refers to a hard-walled, edible core as a nut. Nuts are an energy dense and nutrient dense food source.

A nut in botany is a simple dry berry in which the ovarian wall becomes harder and harder with increasing ripeness and in which the seed does not adhere to the ovarian wall or remains free. Most nuts come from pistils with inferior ovaries (see flower) and all are indehiscent (do not open when ripe).
