Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓
stray@pawb.social 1 day agoSorry if I’m misunderstanding your post, but cashews are not drupes, not nuts. I don’t know whether all true nuts come from trees, but all the ones I can think of do.

Strawberries sure as hell 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 flesh of the strawberry, which would make the cashew pit an achene like the seeds of a strawberry.
