Fact: Peanuts aren’t technically nuts
They’re actually legumes. Shocking right? According to Merriam-Webster, a nut is only a nut if it’s “a hard-shelled dry fruit or seed with a separable rind or shell and interior kernel.”
All of that being said, it means walnuts, almonds, cashews, and pistachios aren’t nuts either. They’re seeds.
