That's Just Nutty


Here’s a Fun Fact!  Almonds are members of the Peach family


I don't know about this.  Do you get these from the same place you get your Revisionist History facts?


Actually, I'm not making crap up!  


Shocking.


I know, right?   Anyway, I was skeptical about this one, too...since, you know...almonds more resemble the parts of a peach that you don't eat than the part that you do.  But as it turns out, it's entirely true.  Both delicious treats belong to the genus "prunus" which also includes plums, cherries, and apricots.  (Yay!  Oxford Comma!)  So there you have it, folks...go forth and amaze your friends by dropping some fruity/nutty knowledge on them.
