► Did you know.... that nuts are actually both a fruit and a seed? They are hard-shelled fruit that do not open to release their seeds. Although the term "nut" is used in a culinary sense to apply to all seeds and include things like Pistachios that crack open their pods on their own, the correct biological term is used only to describe indehiscent fruit. Note: In botany, dehiscence is the splitting act of a plant at a point of built-in weakness at maturity in order to release its contents. Think of a Milkweed pod splitting open in the fall to release its seeds or as mentioned above, Pistachios or Brazil nuts. Indehisence means that no splitting action occurs. The plant must rely on decay, fire or predators to open their structures or pods. Think of nuts such as Hazelnuts or Chestnuts. Botanically speaking, a nut is a dry indehiscent fruit with one seed within an ovary wall which becomes hard at maturity. The culinary definition of a nut is any seed or oily kernel that is found within a shell.

► Did you know.... that nuts are the most common food allergens? Walnuts are different than other nuts since they contain polyunsaturated fatty acids of both the omega-3 and omega-6 families, as well as monounsaturated fats, but no cholesterol! Generally, Omega-3's are lacking in our diets and thought to help reduce risk of heart disease. They are also rich in antioxidants - so crack the shells and munch away!
