Glad you asked, my friend. The answer is no.
Hey, don’t shoot the messenger. The Cambridge Dictionary defines a nut as “the dry fruit of some trees, consisting of an edible seed within a hard, outer shell, or the seed itself.” Most often, we eat the seed itself. Some true nuts: chestnuts, hazelnuts, and acorns.
An almond is a drupe. A drupe is “a type of fruit that has a thin skin and a large stone (= a single seed with a hard cover) in the middle,” Cambridge says. That’d make a cherry a drupe. That’d make a peach a drupe. And that, dear asker, would make an almond a drupe. See, with cherries and peaches, you eat the thin-skinned fruit and discard the stone/seed, but with almonds, you just eat the seed. Odds are you haven’t seen the fruit part of an almond, but it existed, I tell you. It was a dang drupe.
A lot of things are drupes. Cashews, walnuts, olives, mangoes—all drupes. The question shouldn’t be what is a drupe, but what isn’t.
Despite their common label, almonds are not true nuts (a type of dry fruit) but rather seeds enclosed in a hard fruit covering. A tree shaker harvesting pecans. The same method is employed to harvest almonds
I am allergic to tree nuts and i am still allergic to almonds. So make sure you have talk to a doctor before trying one if you have a tree nut allergy

Quinoa is a grain-like crop. Its seeds are consumed as a food. So, technically people eat a part (seed) of a fruit.
Quinoa is a type of grain. It looks and tastes similar to couscous but the actual grains are smaller and more transparent when cooked.
Food grain crops include wheat, oats, and barley. It also includes grains such as triticale, quinoa, and amaranth.
NoQuinoa is a species of goosefoot, is a grain-like crop grown primarily for its edible seeds
Yes. Quinoa, amarath, millet, and rice do not contain gluten, just to name four.
thiNai (திணை) is foxtail millet in Tamil. quinoa is called "சீமைத் திணை" in Tamil.
Quinoa is the same anywhere. It is a grain-like plant that's grown for it's tasty and highly nutritious seeds. The seeds are cooked in a similar way to rice. -As a matter of fact, I'm just going to have some for breakfast. I boil and then cool the seeds and mix them with chopped tomato, green beans and herbs. A delicious and healthy snack.
No. Both are "pseudo" grains because they are actually seeds and both are extremely good for you. Salba is made from chia seeds and quinoa is from the quinoa seed. Both originated in South America and have been used for centuries. Quinoa should be soaked before cooking and the cooking ration is 2 parts water to 1 part quinoa. Chia can be soaked or eaten raw. If soaked, the ratio is 9 parts water to 1 part chia (or salba) and it makes a gel that can be used in smoothies or gravies or just about anything. It does not dilute the taste of food, and has an extremely mild taste. Actually the taste of quinoa is quite mild as well. Both have a slightly nutty flavor. Both seeds are great for vegetarian diets as they have protein and quinoa has all the amino acids, which is quite unusual for a 'grain'.
