if you see a shelled peanut with the husk on, you wouldn’t call it a whole fruit.
You reasonably could, though. “Fruit” has different meanings (with significant overlap) when speaking culinarily versus botanically. Corn, for example, is a fruit and a vegetable and a seed and a cereal grain depending on context.
You’re having a different discussion than what I’m trying to make.
Im aware of the difference between botanical and culinary definition. Im aware a strawberry isn’t botanically a berry. Im aware a pumpkin is a berry. I’m aware that raspberries are accessory fruits, that peanuts aren’t nuts, etc.
I’m saying that your peach example isn’t going to illustrate that difference to someone who doesn’t already get it.
