edible nut-like seed
A small, brown seed that people eat, often as a snack or in food like peanut butter.
استعمال کا انداز:
a bag of [peanuts]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes think a peanut is a type of tree nut, but botanically it is a legume, not a tree nut. They may also confuse 'peanut' with 'pea' because of the similar spelling.
