WHAT DOES NUTLET MEAN IN ENGLISH?

nutlet

Nut (fruit)

A nut is defined botanically as a fruit composed of a hard shell and a seed, where the shell does not open to release the seed. In a culinary context, a wide variety of dried seeds are often called nuts, but in a botanical context, only ones that include the indehiscent fruit are considered true nuts. The translation of "nut" in certain languages frequently requires paraphrases, as the word is ambiguous. Most seeds come from fruits that naturally free themselves from the shell, unlike nuts such as hazelnuts, chestnuts, and acorns, which have hard shell walls and originate from a compound ovary. Culinary usage of the term is less restrictive, and some nuts as defined in food preparation, like almonds, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, and Brazil nuts, are not nuts in a botanical sense. Common usage of the term often refers to any hard-walled, edible kernel as a nut.

Definition of nutlet in the English dictionary

The first definition of nutlet in the dictionary is any of the one-seeded portions of a fruit, such as a labiate fruit, that fragments when mature. Other definition of nutlet is the stone of a drupe, such as a plum. Nutlet is also a small nut.
