Yes, peanuts are fruits. The part of the peanuts that are usually consumed is known as the seed. Peanuts grow from plants under the classification known as legumes, or the family Fabaceae. These plants create fruits that are usually dry and simple. The fruits range from nuts to pea plants.

Peanuts are fruits because they contain the seed of the plant. Anything that contains the seed of a plant is the fruit body, or to ovary, of the plant.
