Nut is meant for the large, dry, oily seeds or fruit of some plants. While a large variety of dried fruits are called nuts in English, only a certain number of them are considered by biologists to be true nuts. Nuts are a great source of nutrients for both humans and wildlife.
A nut is a type of seed. Nuts are both the seed and the fruit. Seeds come from fruit, and can be removed from the fruit, like almonds, cashews and walnuts which have to be extracted from the fruit. Some nuts as defined in cookery usage like pistachios are not true nuts in biological terms.
The grouping of many similar dried fruits as nuts under the single generic name “nut” is not followed in many other languages, which have individual names for each type.
The nut of the horse-chestnut tree is called a conker in the British Isles. Conkers is inedible because they contain toxic glucoside aesculin like proteins. They are used in a popular children’s game, known as conkers, where the nuts are threaded onto a strong cord and then each contestant attempts to break his opponent’s conker by hitting it with his own.
