Walnuts

The article on Walnuts says, "Unlike some other foods considered 'nuts' for culinary purposes, such as the peanut, walnuts are true botanical nuts." This article says they aren't. Tom Permutt (talk) 05:10, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

please provide a better description of the things called "nuts"

As this page covers all sorts of "nuts", it would be very useful if there was comparative set of figures demonstrating the differences in structure between the various types of nuts. The differences are currently described in botanical latin, and the images used to explain these terms are not comparable, e.g. "a nut is a fruit with a woody pericarp developing from a syncarpous gynoecium", "a drupe is an indehiscent" and their respective illustrations do not in general refer to the nut but to a fruit in general.

Proposed split

This article was merged with Nut (food) in 2021, following the discussion below.

The result of this discussion was "merge". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:07, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

I have proposed that Nut (food) should be merged into this article, which will then deal with all aspects of nuts; botanical, culinary, nutritional, production and trade. After the merger, if approved, I hope to further expand and improve the article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:31, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support So long as it is incorporated well, merging these two seems like a good option, especially considering the poor state of both articles right now. And if the "Nut (food)" section ever ends up getting too lengthy, then there can be a discussion at splitting it off at that point into what would, hopefully at that point, be a much better formatted and referenced article. For now, merging is a good idea. Silver seren^C 07:36, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support. There is sufficient overlap to justify the merge. Zefr (talk) 12:49, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

However, the article now has a lot of information about drupes and legumes, which are not relevant to this article's topic of true nuts. I suggest we're now at the point posited by Silver seren in the previous discussion, thanks to improvements by Cwmhiraeth and others, and it's time to split the articles again.

What do others think? @Cwmhiraeth, @Silver seren, @Zefr? AlmostReadytoFly (talk) 09:48, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
