Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓

  Thanks for the clarification. I was under the impression that nuez would only refer to walnut. And that an almond would not be a nuez.

  Is it a country specific thing because I usually see frutos del bosque in Spain?

    I guess things can have multiple names, too. In German you would also say Waldfrüchte (forest fruits) to mixed berries, but they are still Beeren (berries) as well. If you search for “postre de bayas” or “pastel de bayas” many recipes pop up. And sure, Spanish is obviously a diverse language with the divide between Spanish from Spain and from Latin America.

    Disclaimer: I’m part of the scientific bubble so that’s why I may here more terms that are botanical in Spanish ;)

        Yeah, seems like you’re right about kurz. It’s mostly just walnuts although you can find recipes where they say nueces and use pecans. Almendras seem to be classified as a separate thing from nuts, interesting. Wasn’t aware of that before! I’d just use the term “nuez” like I would in German maybe that’s why I never noticed :D
