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"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.192.36.165 (talk) 19:47, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is best answered by reading the articles on Fruit and Legumes. Hint: fruit do not grow underground, and peanuts do not grow from a flower or ovary. Anastrophe (talk) 22:11, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New research found

I have found a research paper made by the University of South Australia and Texas Tech University, claiming that eating peanuts will result on weight loss in 6 months, here is the article: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/14/2986/htm Sincerely, 49.192.44.178 (talk) 13:14, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Most readers are not chemists

Quote: "Apart from N, P and K, other nutrient deficiencies causing significant yield losses are Ca, Fe and B." Wouldn't these be better spelled out - and better yet, linked to the relevant articles? 108.24.202.139 (talk) 07:13, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
