" How did you come up with those categories? Half of those on the poll are not even proper nuts. "
Culinary nuts are pseudo nuts which are just called nuts.... botanical nuts are REAL TRUE nuts which are nuts according to the biological definition of a nut.
Wiki about culinary nuts:
A nut in cuisine is a much less restrictive category than a nut in botany, as the term is applied to many seeds that are not botanically true nuts. Any large, oily kernel found within a shell and used in food may be regarded as a nut.
Wiki on Nuts in general
Nut is a hard shelled fruit of some plants that has an indehiscent seed. While a wide variety of dried seeds and fruits are called nuts in English, only a certain number of them are considered by biologists to be true nuts
" ah okay. although I believe that coconut is still a big argument over if it is a nut, a seed or a fruit. "
wikipedia says its a culinary nut... im not sayin wiki is the truth but my sources for the coconut are wiki so complain there and maybe change the article or whatever.
