Almonds are a stone fruit, too. It’s just that the part we eat is inside the pit. Ever notice how almonds still in the shell kinda look like a peach pit?
Peaches and plums used to be cherry sized, too (and cherries are stone fruits as well, but selective breeding got the fruit-to-pit ratio better for peaches/plums/apricots/nectarines).
So some recipes call for processing cherry pits, and the flavor is pretty close to almond extract. Because almond extract is just bitter almonds processed in a similar way.
Coconut is a stone fruit apparently and peanuts are legumes.
And here my dumb ass was thinking legume was a fancy word for nut
I don’t remember the last time I legumed
Legume deez nuts.
TIL Coconuts = rocks.
They’ll rock your world if you fall asleep under the tree.
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was do a thing called coconut rock
