A nut is made of a void solid shell and a seed, which is usually edible. In general use, dried seeds are called various types of nuts, but in a botanical context, nuts mean that the shell is not open to free the seeds. Bad translation of almonds in certain languages often requires words, because the word is vague
The majority of the seeds come from the fruit, which normally frees themselves from the shell, such as hegelts, chestnuts and acon, which originate from the hard shell walls and a compound boiler. The common and basic use of the term is less restrictive, and many nut such as potatoes, pecan, pistachios, walnuts, and Brazil nut, are not nut in a botanical sense. Common usage of the term often refers to a hard-walled, edible kernel as a nuts.
