I'm a little afraid of the greater implications if we allow that kind of broad defining of classification.

I remember discussing classification of nuts, fruits, and vegetables with my mother...especially coconuts and eggplant, I think. I came out rather more confused than I went in, and with the opinion that the categories are rather...fuzzy? |

One big issue is that those categories overlap, or are ambiguous because they exist in different areas. For example vegetable is a culinary category, but fruit is a botanical category, but can also be a culinary category. So tomatoes are a vegetable, a fruit and not a fruit, respectively. (Same for eggplant.) |

Botanically speaking a nut is a type of fruit (hard, one-seeded etc). A coconut is basically just the seed, so by that count it's already not a nut. Furthermore the coconut-fruit as a whole is a drupe, so also not a nut. Which is to say that botanically speaking it should probably fall in the same category as the seeds of other drupes, like shelled almonds or apricot-stones (and like the former, and unlike the latter, I wouldn't try eating the rest of the fruit). Seeing as you might find almonds in a bag of mixed nuts, as well as other types of non-botanically-nutty seeds, it could potentially fall in the same culinary category, but I'm not sure. It's a bit big to put in a bag of mixed nuts, in any case. |

Now that's a nut mix I could get behind though. |

It's actually amazing how few (botanical) nuts there actually are in mixed nuts. Of peanuts, almonds, walnuts, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, and pecans (to name a few from a list on wikipedia); only hazelnuts are botanically speaking nuts. |
