Do date fruits and nuts belong to the same family?

No, date fruits and nuts do not belong to the same family. Dates come from the date palm tree (Phoenix dactylifera), which is part of the Arecaceae family (palm family). In contrast, nuts come from various plants, typically belonging to different families, such as the Juglandaceae family for walnuts and the Fagaceae family for chestnuts. While both are nutritious and often used in similar culinary contexts, their botanical classifications are distinct.
