Reply to comment by doctorhino in TIL that pink "peppercorns" are actually the berries of a plant in the cashew family, and can be dangerous to people with tree nut allergies. by dorkphoenyx

There’s a difference between culinary and botanical usage of several terms including fruit, vegetable, and berry that are often referenced. A lot of things we colloquially refer to as nuts are seeds in the botanical sense. Nut allergies adopted the colloquial/culinary usage of the word, and those with tree nut allergies need to be careful of seeds also.
