None of these are actually nuts. Peanuts are legumes; the others are seeds.
Yes, but the proteins in peanuts are similar in structure to those in tree nuts. For this reason, people who are allergic to peanuts can also be allergic to tree nuts, such as almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pistachios, pecans, and cashews. Be careful and stay safe!
No. Peanuts grow in the ground, not on a tree.
Pistacios belong to a group of nuts called tree nuts, a common allergen. (Cashews, almonds, pecans, walnuts, etc.) Tree nuts grow on trees. Peanuts grow underground, so they are not a tree nut.
Pecan Any nut that grows on a tree.
No. Acorns are the seeds from an oak tree. Chestnuts refer to either the tree itself, or seeds from the chestnut tree.
Chestnuts, like all other fruit, drop from the tree after they are ripe.
The pecan tree, native to Mexico, Mississippi and Texas River Valleys, is the only naturally growing nut tree in North America.
Almonds are a nut which grow on a tree. Botanically, it is considered a drupe.
Chestnuts are the fruit of the Horse Chestnut tree, Aesculus hippocastanum, so yes they are a form of tree nut.
Yes, they are formed within a protective case which is the fruit of the almond tree.
If you are only allergic to peanuts (and not tree nuts) like I am, that means you can technically eat many raw types of nuts. However, the issue is that many nuts are made in facilities with peanuts, so always ask at restaurants or read labels in the store. If you are in the US, the ONLY two kinds of nuts I've found that are 100% safe to eat with my allergy (that are in my grocery store anyway) are: 1. Wonderful brand pistachios 2. Blue Diamond brand almonds
Conkers come from the Horsechestnut tree Aeseculus hippocastanum and are inedible. Chestnuts come from the Spanish or Sweet Chestnut tree Castanea sativa and are edible. s
