peanuts are not nuts

[39mto39g]

what is & what isn't a nut?

Nuts are generally the seeds or extensions of fruits, encased in a hard outer shell, and grow on flowering upright trees or shrubs. One common misconception about nuts is that peanuts are one of them. Well, peanuts may be crazy, but they certainly aren't nuts; peanuts are in fact legumes, like beans or peas (edible seeds that grow inside pods), and grow underground.
