What is the botanical difference between a nut and a seed?
Things like peanuts almonds and cashews aren't true botanical nuts. What defines a real nut (like acorns or hazelnuts) vs a seed or drupe?

A true botanical nut is a hard-shelled fruit containing a single seed where the shell does not split open naturally at maturity (like chestnuts or acorns).
