Crossword Genius

Crazy for almonds, say (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nuts

This clue is a double definition.

'crazy' is the first definition.
(nuts can informally mean crazy or mad)

'almonds say' is the second definition.
(almond is a kind of nut)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for nuts that I've seen before include "Fruit with edible kernel" , "Is butter" , "Unbalanced" , "Hard shells with edible kernels" , "Potty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
