Apparently "Nuts are defined as a simple, dry fruit with one seed (very occasionally two) in which the seed case wall becomes very hard at maturity." ;-)

When is a nut not a nut? This is a hard one to crack. Luckily the everso trustworthy newspapers have the answer. ;-)

With a bit of help from the guys behind QI, they've compiled a list of what's nuts and what isn't. :-)

NUTS:
pecan, sweet chestnut, beech, acorns, hazel, hornbeam and alder

NOT NUTS:
peanuts, brazil nuts, coconuts, walnuts, cashew nuts, and horse chestnuts

It seems strange that sweet chestnuts are nuts, but horse chestnuts aren't :-S
