What are true nuts and how do they differ from other types of nuts?
True nuts are a type of fruit that have a hard shell surrounding a seed. They differ from other types of nuts, like peanuts and almonds, which are technically seeds or legumes. True nuts include examples like chestnuts, acorns, and hazelnuts.
What are the differences between a drupe and a nut in terms of their botanical classification and characteristics?
A drupe is a type of fruit with a hard pit or stone inside, while a nut is a type of fruit with a hard shell that encloses a seed. In terms of botanical classification, drupes belong to the category of fleshy fruits, while nuts are classified as dry fruits. Drupes typically have a single seed enclosed by a fleshy outer layer, while nuts have a hard shell that protects the seed inside.
What fruit is actually a nut, and how is it different from other fruits in terms of classification and characteristics?
The fruit that is actually a nut is the coconut. Coconuts are different from other fruits because they have a hard, woody shell and are classified as a drupe rather than a true nut. Drupes have a fleshy outer layer surrounding a hard shell with a seed inside, while true nuts have a hard outer shell that does not split open on its own.
What are the differences between drupes and nuts in terms of their botanical classification and nutritional properties?
Drupes and nuts are both types of fruits, but they differ in their botanical classification and nutritional properties. Drupes are fruits with a single seed enclosed in a hard shell surrounded by a fleshy outer layer, while nuts are fruits with a hard outer shell that encloses a single seed. Nutritionally, drupes are typically higher in sugar content and lower in fat compared to nuts, which are higher in healthy fats and protein. Nuts also tend to have more fiber and essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals.
Is a pecan a nut?
Actually, a pecan is botanically called a drupaceousnut. This definition is directly from http://waynesword.palomar.edu/fruitid1.htm:4. Drupe: Fleshy fruit with hard inner layer (endocarp or stone) surrounding the seed. E.g. peach, plum, nectarine, apricot, cherry, olive, mango and almond. Some botanists also include the fruits of walnuts, pecans, date palms, macadamia nuts, pistachio nuts, tung oil and kukui nuts as drupes because of their outer, green, fleshy husk and stony, seed-bearing endocarp. These latter fruits are also called drupaceous nuts. The coconut is considered a dry drupe with a green, waterproof outer layer (exocarp), a thick, buoyant, fibrous husk (mesocarp) and a hard, woody, inner layer (endocarp) surrounding the large seed. The actual seed embryo is embedded in the coconut meat (endosperm). Nutrient-rich coconut milk is liquid endosperm that has not formed firm tissue with cell walls. [There is considerable disagreement among authorities about the classification of some of these fruits. For example, the California Macadamia Society considers the macadamia nut to be a follicle. See section B-1 below under dry, dehiscent fruits.]Note: A number of so-called nuts are probably better placed in the drupe category. This is especially true of the walnut family (Juglandaceae), although some older references still consider these fruits to be nuts. In hickory & pecan (Carya) the outer husk or shuck splits into four valves, exposing the hard, indehiscent nut . According to many botanists, the outer husk is part of the pericarp, and the hard, inner layer surrounding the seed is the endocarp; therefore, these fruits are technically drupes or drupaceous nuts. Walnut & butternut (Juglans), two additional members of the walnut family (Juglandaceae), have similar drupe-like fruits. The outer green husk resembles the outer pericarp (exocarp and mesocarp) of a drupe. For this reason, walnuts are sometimes referred to as dry drupes, and the hard shell surrounding the seed is considered to be the endocarp layer as in coconuts. In true nuts, the hard, indehiscent layer surrounding the seed is the entire ovary wall or pericarp, and the outer husk is composed of involucral tissue that is not part of the ovary wall or pericarp. According to most botanical references, the outer green layer (husk) of the walnut is part of the pericarp and the hard shell surrounding the seed is really the endocarp. Therefore, walnuts and pecans probably fit the dry drupe category rather than a true nut. Some authors elegantly avoid this dilemma by calling these fruits drupe-like or "drupaceous nuts."

It is a drupe which means that in the study of botany, it is not a nut, but a dried fruit.

No. A drupe is something fleshy with 1 seed. sometimes things we think are nuts are actually "drupes" in the views of a botanist. example would be an almond, it's thought to be a nut but it's really a drupe
