Interestingly, the peanuts, cashews and almonds in this Mountain Trail Mix are not technically considered "nuts." In fact, cashews and almonds are actually a part of the "drupe" family. Drupes are fleshy fruits that grow on trees and contain pits with seeds, those pits with seeds are what we call almonds and cashews. As for peanuts, they are actually part of the legume family like peas and chickpeas. Legumes are dry fruits that split in the middle and contain pods, inside of those pods are where you find peanuts.
