Walnut
Hazelnut
Pecan
Almond
Brazil nut

Will have a bit of a guess at Hazelnuts, I think it is because you have to break them out of another casing before you can eat them.

 

[ComUtoR]

Brazil nut.

Brazil nuts are found in clusters inside the outer husk the others are all found singularly.

Or


Hazelnut

Because it is a nut and the others are technically seeds.


My guess is the second one

 

[dave12435]

Hazelnut as its the only one that's actually a nut
