Oil Roasting

Under the Food topic, it mentions only dry roasting of peanuts or deep frying whole peanuts. However, a very common practice is roasting in oil, which are called "cocktail peanuts" in the US. This could be mentioned, especially as the difference between dry-roasted and oil-roasted peanuts is not always clear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.142.113.192 (talk) 20:35, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

nut definition

So the definition quoted is "a fruit whose ovary wall becomes hard at maturity". It's not clear how this doesn't apply to peanuts. Does the shell form from some other part than the ovary wall? Is the shell hard before "maturity"?
