    Nuts.

    These ones are from a group that is known to be high in Mono Unsaturated Fatty Acids.

    Actually, it's pistachio not fistashio, cashew not kashiyo, macadamia not macademia, and most importantly almonds not omens.

    Also, sunflower seeds are not nuts. Neither are peanuts, which are legumes (they grow under ground). Neither are almonds, cashews, macadamia or pistachios.

    so nuts isn't the word, the word should also include toasted corn and pea

    A lot of them are called nuts in English, but technically speaking (biologically) they aren't. So it's probably an ok translation.

    In Mumbai, barring sun-flower seeds, they would all classify as "Dry-fruits".

    Pulses? Some variations of beans and some dal fall under the category of pulses. Whole moong or urad dal are two examples of pulses.

    The only mistake is assuming that "nuts" isn't the word.

    Re: translate to english

    Somebody try running that translation through Google again. If it still says nuts, then it's the tranlation. If not, it might be the translator...
