Nuts

Nuts

Dried seeds or fruits with edible kernels surrounded by a hard shell or rind. Nuts are available in many forms, such as chopped, slivered, and halved. Use the form called for in the recipe. In most recipes, the nuts are selected for their particular flavour and appearance; however, in general, walnuts may be substituted for pecans, and almonds for hazelnuts, and vice versa.
