Tree nuts are a hard-shelled fruit. As the name suggests, they grow on trees.

The tree nut family includes (but is not limited to):

• Almonds
• Brazil nuts
• Cashews
• Chestnuts
• Hazelnuts
• Macadamias
• Pecans
• Pine nuts
• Pistachios
• Walnuts.

Tree nuts are different to peanuts – which are from a different family. Peanuts are a legume and grow underground.
