Almonds and walnuts are classified as nuts, not as fruits. While fruit has the evolutionary function of serving as food for animals that eat the fruit and spread the seeds contained in the fruit, nuts do not have that purpose. They have shells to protect them from being eaten, so that their nutritional content can instead by used to feed a new plant that can grow from the nut.
