What are Nuts?

Nuts are a type of fruit that grows on trees. They are encased in a hard shell that must be cracked open to get to the edible part of the nut. Nuts are a good source of protein and essential nutrients, making them a healthy snack option. Some popular types of nuts include almonds, peanuts, walnuts, and pistachios.

When Were Nuts First Eaten?

Nuts have been eaten by humans for thousands of years and are thought to originate from the Middle East. Evidence of nut consumption has been found in archaeological sites in Syria that date back to 7,000 BC. Today, nuts are enjoyed all over the world and are used in a variety of dishes, from savory to sweet.
