    Are chestnuts nuts
    I would like to know if water chestnuts are nuts or vegetables as my doctor told me do not eat nuts. Are chestnuts safe for me?

    Yes, they are nuts.

    Chestnut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Peanuts, however, are not. They are legumes.

    yes. chestnuts are nuts.
    Hmm-- by that logic a coconut is a nut... coco-nut.
    Wrong, coconuts are seeds.

    Water chestnuts are not nuts... they are tubers. You should be able to eat them, but why not give your doctor's office a call if you're uncertain? Take care...
