What are Nuts?
NUTS
Those mentioned in Gen 43:11 are doubtless pistachio-nuts, which were produced in Syria, but not in Egypt. The pistachio tree (Pistacia vera) resembles the sumac, to whose family it belongs. It is still cultivated in the Levant, and produces thin-shelled nuts resembling almonds, but smaller and with a green meat tasting like that of the walnut. Pistachio -Nuts. Another word translated "nuts" in Song 6:11 denotes what are known in our markets as "English walnuts," produced by a noble tree (Juglans regia) which is everywhere cultivated in the East.
