A drupe that remains encased within a hard shell is what we call the Nut. Not speaking about the botanical or culinary nuts, the edible nuts we talk generally about, in layman terminology are simply the edible seeds available in markets as the dried fruits. Winters and nut consumption go hand in hand.

It is seen that the nuts or dried fruits, in general, are consumed in winter season mostly. I can think of the two most obvious reasons for this. First that the fruits generally available as dried fruits are harvested in the season of fall and the second nuts keep the body heat set in the chilling environment.

These have a high oil content and provide a good energy source. Mostly eaten as snacks, nuts available may be raw, salted, sweetened, Roasted or in fact sometimes used for garnishing purposes in sweet dishes like puddings( Pherni ) and Halwa in India.
