According to the botanical definition, nuts are a particular kind of seed.[6] Chestnuts, hazelnuts, and acorns are examples of nuts under this definition. In culinary terms, however, the term is used more broadly to include fruits that are not botanically qualified as nuts, but that have a similar appearance and culinary role. Examples of culinary nuts include almonds, coconuts, and cashews.[7][8] acorn almond beech Brazil nut candlenut cashew chestnuts, including: Chinese chestnut sweet chestnut Chilean hazel coconut egusi and other melon seeds, including: colocynth Malabar gourd pepita ugu hazelnuts, including: filbert hickory, including: pecan shagbark hickory Indian beech kola nut macadamia Malabar almond Malabar chestnut mamoncillo mongongo ogbono paradise nut pili pistachio walnuts, including: black walnut water chestnut Nut-like gymnosperm seeds[edit] See also: Gymnosperm Pine nuts cycads ginkgo gnetum juniper monkey-puzzle pine nuts, including Chilgoza pine Korean pine Mexican pinyon piñon pine single-leaf pinyon stone pine podocarps |
