  Peanuts, like coconuts, are not nuts.

    Coconut is a stone fruit apparently and peanuts are legumes.

      Almonds are a stone fruit, too. It’s just that the part we eat is inside the pit. Ever notice how almonds still in the shell kinda look like a peach pit?

      Peaches and plums used to be cherry sized, too (and cherries are stone fruits as well, but selective breeding got the fruit-to-pit ratio better for peaches/plums/apricots/nectarines).

      So some recipes call for processing cherry pits, and the flavor is pretty close to almond extract. Because almond extract is just bitter almonds processed in a similar way.

    Yup, my dad is allergic to nuts (hazelnuts, brazil nuts, and walnuts), but has no issues with peanuts. They’re legumes, not nuts.
