Almond or cashew (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nut

This clue is a double definition.

'almond' is the first definition.
(almond is a type of nut)

'cashew' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for nut that I've seen before include "Vegetarian food" , "Enthusiastic person" , "Hard kernel of minutiae" , "1A [CRACKPOT]?" , "Hard edible seed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the Newsday.
