LevibatteryCSA (Dave), The fruits of the cashew, almond, and pistachio plants are not true nuts, but are rather classified as “drupes.” Drupes are fruit. Fruit develops from a fertilized ovary after a plant flowers, as do ALL FRUITS. VEGETABLES are parts of the plant itself and fertilization is unnecessary. They come from: ROOTS - carrots, radishes, beets. TUBERS - potatoes, taro, yams, ginger. STEMS - celery, green onions, rhubarb. LEAVES - lettuce, cabbage, spinach, kale, chard. FLOWERS - broccoli, cauliflower, capers, artichoke.
