A '''nut''' can be either a [[seed]] or a [[fruit]].

== Botanical definitions ==

A '''nut''' in [[botany]] is a ''simple dry [[fruit]]'' with one [[seed]] (rarely two) in which the [[ovary (plants)|ovary]] wall becomes very hard (stony or woody) at maturity, and where the seed remains unattached or unfused with the ovary wall. Most nuts come from [[carpel|pistils]] with ''inferior'' ovaries (see [[flower]]) and all are ''indehiscent'' (not opening at maturity). True nuts are produced, for example, by some plants — families of the [[order (biology)|order]] [[Fagales]].
;Order [[Fagales]]
*Family [[Juglandaceae]]
** [[Walnut]] - esp. [[Juglans regia]], the '''[[Persian Walnut]]'''
** [[Butternut]] (''[[Juglans]]'')
** [[Hickory]], [[Pecan]] (''[[Carya]]'')
** [[Wingnut]] (''[[Pterocarya]]'')
* Family [[Fagaceae]]
** [[Chestnut]] (''[[Castanea]]'')
** [[Beech]] (''[[Fagus]]'')
** [[Oak]] (''[[Quercus]]'')
** [[Stone-oak]], [[Tanoak]] (''[[Lithocarpus]]'')
* Family [[Betulaceae]]
** [[Alder]] (''[[Alnus]]'')
** [[Birch]] (''[[Betula]]'')
** [[Hazel]], [[Filbert]] (''[[Corylus]]'')
** [[Hornbeam]]

== Culinary definition and uses ==
A '''nut''' in [[cuisine]] is a much less restrictive category than a nut in botany, as the term is applied (or misapplied, depending upon the viewpoint) to many [[seed]]s that are not true nuts. Any large, oily [[seed|kernel]] found within a shell and used in food may be regarded as a nut. Because nuts generally have a high oil content, they are a highly prized food and energy source. A large number of seeds are edible by humans and used in cooking, eaten raw, sprouted, or roasted as a [[snack food]], or pressed for oil that is used in [[cookery]] and [[cosmetics]]. Nuts (or seeds generally) are also a significant source of nutrition for wildlife. This is particularly true in temperate climates where animals such as [[jay]]s and [[squirrel]]s store [[acorn]]s and other nuts during the autumn to keep them from starving during the winter and early spring.

Nuts, including both tree nuts and [[peanut]]s, are among the most common [[food allergy|food allergens]].<ref>{{cite web | title = Common Food Allergens | url = http://www.foodallergy.org/allergens/index.html | publisher = The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network | accessdate = 2007-06-24 }}</ref>

Some fruits and seeds that are nuts in the culinary sense but not in the botanical sense:
*[[Almond]] is the edible seed of a [[drupe]] — the leathery "flesh" is removed at harvest.
*[[Brazil nut]] is the seed from a [[capsule (fruit)|capsule]].
*[[Candlenut]] (used for oil) is a seed.
*[[Cashew]] nut is a seed.
*[[Coconut]] is a dry, fibrous drupe.
*[[Aesculus|Horse-chestnut]] is an inedible capsule.
*[[Macadamia]] nut is a creamy white kernel ([[Macadamia integrifolia]]).
*[[Mongongo]]
*[[Peanut]] is a [[legume]] and a seed.
*[[Pine nut]] is the seed of several species of [[pine]] ([[Pinophyta|coniferous]] trees).
*[[Pistachio]] nut is the seed of a thin-shelled drupe.

==Advocacy of nuts by John Harvey Kellogg==
[[Image:Mixed nuts bowl.jpg|left|thumb|Bowl of [[mixed nuts]]]]
In 1920, [[John Harvey Kellogg]], the medical director of the Battle Creek Sanitarium wrote an article entitled "Nuts May Save the Race" within his book ''The Itinerary of a Breakfast''. Kellogg's article promoted nuts as an ideal source of protein, particularly after the first world war and the shortage of meat sources throughout Europe and America. Kellogg explains that nuts were primarily considered to be a luxury in society, but should take the place of meat as a main source of protein in the American diet. The principal reason nuts were not prominent in the American diet is because of the idea that nuts were highly indigestible and that they were relatively expensive. However, within his article, Kellogg argues that there is no scientific proof of their indigestibility and that the price of nuts is comparable to the price of meat. (J.H. Kellogg, 1920, 173–176).

Kellogg presents the advantages of a nut diet, promoting their benefits to the American population. First he argues that unlike meat, nuts are free from waste products. Nuts are also free from bacteria that cause things to easily spoil, and they last for a long time. They are free from parasites, like tapeworm and trichnae, and do not pose a great threat to consumers. (Kellogg 175).

In a section of his article on nuts, Kellogg made a plea to the American population, writing "Something Must Be Done." He argued that the meat supply is rapidly diminishing, and that nuts could be the only "future sustenance of the race." He predicted, correctly, that nut growing was going to become one of the most important agricultural industries, and that nuts were truly one of the earth's finest bounties (Kellogg 200–203).

Kellogg's article and his promotion of a strictly vegetarian diet led to a new appreciation of nuts and [[nut butter]]s as a perfect source of protein in an American diet.

==Nut allergy==
{{main|Nut Allergy}}
[[Nut Allergy|Allergy to nuts]] is a relatively common and often very serious problem. For people with nut allergy, exposure to surprisingly small amounts of nut fragments (e.g. minor cross-contamination of otherwise nut-free products in a food processing factory) can cause fatal [[anaphylaxis|anaphylactic shock]] which has led to their banning on some school premises.

Allergy to [[peanut]]s is the most common; some evidence suggests that some peanut allergies may be related to the use of peanuts in [[baby food]]s; if given to very young children who are not yet able to digest all the components of peanuts fully, the body will then react against those components.{{Fact|date=June 2007}}

It has been reported that the processes that increase the flavour and shelf-life of peanuts, namely maturation, roasting and curing, increase their allergenic properties and that this may be applicable to other nut types also. <ref>[http://www.publish.csiro.au/samples/Nut%20Growers%20GuideSample.pdf Nut Grower's Guide: The Complete Handbook for Producers and Hobbyists] by Jennifer Wilkinson, Landlinks Press, 2005. quoting Soutter, V. (2004). "Allergic reactions to nuts". ''Australian Nutgrower'' 18(3), 38.</ref>

As the peanut is a member of the [[Fabaceae|pea family]] unrelated to other nuts, individuals with allergies to peanuts may not be allergic to other nuts, and those with allergies to other nuts may not be allergic to peanuts. A common term applied to nuts, used to distinguish them from peanuts, is "tree nuts".

==Nutritional benefits==
[[Image:Nuts and seeds (996x563).PNG|thumb|right|300px|A graph detailing the nutritional properties of nuts and oily seeds.]]
Several [[epidemiological]] studies have revealed that people who consume nuts regularly are less likely to suffer from [[coronary heart disease]]. Recent [[clinical trial]]s have found that consumption of various nuts such as [[almond]]s and [[walnut]]s can lower serum [[LDL]] cholesterol concentrations. Although nuts contain various substances thought to possess cardioprotective effects, scientists believe that their [[fatty acid]] profile is at least in part responsible for the hypolipidemic response observed in clinical trials.

In addition to possessing cardioprotective effects, nuts generally have a very low [[glycemic index]] (GI). Consequently, dietitians frequently recommend nuts be included in diets prescribed for patients with [[insulin resistance]] problems such as [[diabetes mellitus type 2]].

One study found that people who eat nuts live two to three years longer than those who do not. However, this may be because people who eat nuts tend to eat less [[junk food]]. <ref>[http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/LivingLonger/story?id=2805247&page=1 "ABC News: The Places Where People Live Longest"]. ''URL accessed [[January 18]], [[2007]].''</ref>

==Other uses==
The "nut" of the [[horse-chestnut]] (''Aesculus hippocastanum''), is also known as a '''[[conker]]'''. Conkers are inedible, due to the presence of the toxic [[glucoside]] [[aesculin]], but are collected and used in an old children's game, also known as ''[[conker]]s'', in which a nut is threaded onto a strong cord and then each child attempts to break their opponent's conker by hitting it with their own. A related species, ''[[Aesculus californica]]'', was formerly eaten by the [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]] of [[California]] in times of famine. It must be leached to remove the toxic constituents before eating.

Root vegetable

Wwm101: /* List of root vegetables by anatomical type */

'''Root vegetables''' are underground plant parts used as [[vegetable]]s. They are called root vegetables for lack of a better generic term, but include both true [[root]]s such as [[tuberous root]]s and [[taproot]]s, as well as non-roots such as [[tuber]]s, [[rhizome]]s, [[corm]]s, and [[bulb]]s. Several types contain both taproot and [[hypocotyl]] tissue, and it may be difficult to distinguish the two.

Regardless of anatomical type, root vegetables are generally [[storage organ]]s, enlarged to store energy in the form of [[carbohydrate]]s. They differ in the concentration and the balance between [[sugar]]s, [[starch]]es, and other types of carbohydrate.

Of particular economic importance are those with a high carbohydrate concentration in the form of starch. These '''starchy root vegetables''' are important [[staple food]]s, particularly in tropical regions. They overshadow the [[cereal]]s throughout much of [[West Africa]], [[Central Africa]], and [[Oceania]], where they are used directly or mashed to make [[foufou]] or [[poi (food)|poi]].

List of vegetables

2010-03-10T13:45:33Z

Wwm101: /* Root and tuberous vegetables */

This is a list of [[vegetable]]s in the culinary sense, which means it includes some botanical [[fruit]]s like pumpkins and doesn't include [[herb]]s, [[spice]]s, [[cereal]]s and most [[List of fruits|culinary fruits]] and [[Nut (fruit)|culinary nuts]]. Some culinary vegetables ([[seaweeds]] like [[nori]]) are not even members of the [[plantae|plant kingdom]].

A vegetable can be any of the major plant parts - [[root]], [[stem]], [[leaf]], [[flower]], [[fruit]] or [[seed]]. Vegetables are usually eaten during the main part of a meal while culinary fruits are usually sweet and eaten as [[dessert]]s, [[snack]]s or [[juice]]s. There are often exceptions, e.g. vegetables can be used in desserts such as sweet potato pie, sweet green tomato pie and sweet eggplant pie. Vegetables are also used in [[Vegetable juice|juices]].

List of vegetables

Wwm101: /* Root and tuberous vegetables */

This is a list of [[vegetable]]s in the culinary sense, which means it includes some botanical [[fruit]]s like pumpkins and doesn't include [[herb]]s, [[spice]]s, [[cereal]]s and most [[List of fruits|culinary fruits]] and [[Nut (fruit)|culinary nuts]]. Some culinary vegetables ([[seaweeds]] like [[nori]]) are not even members of the [[plantae|plant kingdom]].

Vegetables are usually eaten during the main part of a meal while culinary fruits are usually sweet and eaten as [[dessert]]s, [[snack]]s or [[juice]]s. There are often exceptions, e.g. vegetables can be used in desserts such as sweet potato pie, sweet green tomato pie and sweet eggplant pie. Vegetables are also used in [[Vegetable juice|juices]].

List of vegetables

Wwm101: /* Podded Vegetables */

This is a list of [[vegetable]]s in the culinary sense, which means it includes some botanical [[fruit]]s like pumpkins and doesn't include [[herb]]s, [[spice]]s, [[cereal]]s and most [[List of fruits|culinary fruits]] and [[Nut (fruit)|culinary nuts]]. Some culinary vegetables ([[seaweeds]] like [[nori]]) are not even members of the [[plantae|plant kingdom]].

A vegetable can be any of the major plant parts - [[root]], [[stem]], [[leaf]], [[flower]], [[fruit]] or [[seed]]. Vegetables are usually eaten during the main part of a meal while culinary fruits are usually sweet and eaten as [[dessert]]s, [[snack]]s or [[juice]]s. There are often exceptions, e.g. vegetables can be used in desserts such as sweet potato pie, sweet green tomato pie and sweet eggplant pie. Vegetables are also used in [[Vegetable juice|juices]].

List of vegetables

Wwm101: /* Podded Vegetables */

This is a list of [[vegetable]]s in the culinary sense, which means it includes some botanical [[fruit]]s like pumpkins and doesn't include [[herb]]s, [[spice]]s, [[cereal]]s and most [[List of fruits|culinary fruits]] and [[Nut (fruit)|culinary nuts]]. Some culinary vegetables ([[seaweeds]] like [[nori]]) are not even members of the [[plantae|plant kingdom]].

A vegetable can be any of the major plant parts - [[root]], [[stem]], [[leaf]], [[flower]], [[fruit]] or [[seed]]. Vegetables are usually eaten during the main part of a meal while culinary fruits are usually sweet and eaten as [[dessert]]s, [[snack]]s or [[juice]]s. There are often exceptions, e.g. vegetables can be used in desserts such as sweet potato pie, sweet green tomato pie and sweet eggplant pie. Vegetables are also used in [[Vegetable juice|juices]].

List of vegetables

2010-03-10T00:33:14Z

Wwm101: /* Leafy and salad vegetables */

This is a list of [[vegetable]]s in the culinary sense, which means it includes some botanical [[fruit]]s like pumpkins and doesn't include [[herb]]s, [[spice]]s, [[cereal]]s and most [[List of fruits|culinary fruits]] and [[Nut (fruit)|culinary nuts]]. Some culinary vegetables ([[seaweeds]] like [[nori]]) are not even members of the [[plantae|plant kingdom]].

A vegetable can be any of the major plant parts - [[root]], [[stem]], [[leaf]], [[flower]], [[fruit]] or [[seed]]. Vegetables are usually eaten during the main part of a meal while culinary fruits are usually sweet and eaten as [[dessert]]s, [[snack]]s or [[juice]]s. There are often exceptions, e.g. vegetables can be used in desserts such as sweet potato pie, sweet green tomato pie and sweet eggplant pie. Vegetables are also used in [[Vegetable juice|juices]].

Wwm101: /* Asian Brassicas */

This is a list of [[vegetable]]s in the culinary sense, which means it includes some botanical [[fruit]]s like pumpkins and doesn't include [[herb]]s, [[spice]]s, [[cereal]]s and most [[List of fruits|culinary fruits]] and [[Nut (fruit)|culinary nuts]]. Some culinary vegetables ([[seaweeds]] like [[nori]]) are not even members of the [[plantae|plant kingdom]].

A vegetable can be any of the major plant parts - [[root]], [[stem]], [[leaf]], [[flower]], [[fruit]] or [[seed]]. Vegetables are usually eaten during the main part of a meal while culinary fruits are usually sweet and eaten as [[dessert]]s, [[snack]]s or [[juice]]s. There are often exceptions, e.g. vegetables can be used in desserts such as sweet potato pie, sweet green tomato pie and sweet eggplant pie. Vegetables are also used in [[Vegetable juice|juices]].

List of vegetables

2010-03-10T00:23:25Z

Wwm101: /* Western Brassicas */

This is a list of [[vegetable]]s in the culinary sense, which means it includes some botanical [[fruit]]s like pumpkins and doesn't include [[herb]]s, [[spice]]s, [[cereal]]s and most [[List of fruits|culinary fruits]] and [[Nut (fruit)|culinary nuts]]. Some culinary vegetables ([[seaweeds]] like [[nori]]) are not even members of the [[plantae|plant kingdom]].

A vegetable can be any of the major plant parts - [[root]], [[stem]], [[leaf]], [[flower]], [[fruit]] or [[seed]]. Vegetables are usually eaten during the main part of a meal while culinary fruits are usually sweet and eaten as [[dessert]]s, [[snack]]s or [[juice]]s. There are often exceptions, e.g. vegetables can be used in desserts such as sweet potato pie, sweet green tomato pie and sweet eggplant pie. Vegetables are also used in [[Vegetable juice|juices]].
