dry fruit
Dehydrated edible seeds
Dry fruit has two distinct meanings depending on context.
In botany, it refers to fruits with papery or hard outer layers that don't become fleshy when ripe—nuts, grains, and legumes qualify as dry fruits.
In culinary usage, particularly in South Asian English, dry fruits are what Americans call dried fruits and nuts: a box of dry fruits including almonds, cashews, and raisins.
