Fruit, seed, legume or nut?

Peanut: not a nut, but a type of legume


Pine nut: obviously a seed—not nuts here


Brazil nut: is definitely a seed




Coffee: don’t be fooled into thinking this is a bean; it’s a seed



Coconut: officially a fruit, but the edible section is a seed (haha, definitely not cocoa's nut)


Cashew nut: a variety of fruit that grows on cashew apple



Banana: a fruit, but the banana plant is in fact, a herb, not a tree



Almond: a drupe, which is a type of fruit or seed


Chilli pepper: a very hot fruit



Chickpea: a legume from a pod
