    Like cashews!

    I thought nuts had to come from trees, though.

    Like, peanuts aren’t actually nuts.

        Peanuts claim to be nuts, but they aren’t a legumtimate part of the taxonomy.

        I dunno.

          Ah, my favorite flavor enhancing chemical:

          Monosodium Legumtimate.

      Sorry if I’m misunderstanding your post, but cashews are drupes, not nuts. I don’t know whether all true nuts come from trees, but all the ones I can think of do.

        If strawberries are nuts, cashews are nuts. It’s a seed that grows on the outside of an accessory fruit.

        Obviously strawberries aren’t nuts either but we’re playing pretty fast and loose with words and meanings.

          The “nut” from a cashew is the seed a stone fruit (like the center of a peach pit). The strawberry “seed” is the entire fruit.

            I don’t see why the apple from a cashew can’t also be classified as an aggregate accessory fruit, like the red flesh of the strawberry, which would make the cashew pit an achene like the seeds of a strawberry.

      What is a tree?

        Although “tree” is a common word, there is no universally recognised precise definition of what a tree is, either botanically or in common language.[1][2] In its broadest sense, a tree is any plant with the general form of an elongated stem, or trunk, which supports the photosynthetic leaves or branches at some distance above the ground.

        Well damn, I guess strawberries can be trees and nuts.
