Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 A fruit is the product of a flower. Seeds are the product of a fruit. A vegetable is the stalk, leaf or root of a plant. rusty - " DReaD DRaKe " <strange_fruit <undisclosed-recipients:> Monday, June 30, 2003 7:46 AM [Raw Food] A question concerning Nuts > I have a big problem with nuts, what are they? with nuts, i'm including > almonds, pistach, walnuts, coconuts, brazil nuts... well, all the nuts. > Are they fruits or seeds? > Many thanks for your answer. > f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an in-depth look at various kinds of nuts -- processing and consumption -- read Tom Billings' paper, which is posted on several food sites, including here: http://www.living-foods.com/articles/nuts.html - Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Okay, then, not to be a pain in the butt, but then what are sunflower seeds? They are the product of a flower, no? Just curious, Cathe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 All seeds and nuts are the product of a flower. Some are contained in fruit. Note that peanuts are not nuts but misnamed tubers. Vegetables are not to product of a flower. So cukes and tomatoes and peppers and eggplant etc. are fruits. rusty - " cathe " <cathe <rawfood > Wednesday, July 02, 2003 11:20 AM Re: [Raw Food] A question concerning Nuts > Okay, then, not to be a pain in the butt, but then what are sunflower seeds?

" Certain nuts make me break out in hives and others don't. I have not figured out which ones completely. Are there " categories " which are similar in chemical composition? One I know is a problem is pistachios. I think that almonds are okay. Cashews are okay but I believe that they are not really a nut. Anyone know more?
