What is the generic term for nuts, cashew nuts, almond, peanuts, etc., etc.?
I am starting a small business in cashews, almond, penunts, and the like, roasting them and then packing them for sale as a whole sellor. So, would like to have a name of my company which will show what kind of goods it involved with. Would even appreciate a name for my new company.
I will also be making dried fruits in a similar way. Wlll appreciate your advice on generic term, name, etc.

There is no true generic term. "Nuts" is generally accepted to include peanuts and cashews (neither of which are actually nuts).
Given your inclusion of fruits, "snacks" doesn't seem that far off.
As for a name? If you want people to know that you sell nuts and fruits, just go ahead and include that in the name. Or something similar.
For example, many airports have stores that sells peanuts, nuts, cashews, dried fruits, and other snacks (like rice crackers and sesame sticks). It's called "The Grove." This conveys the concept that they sell stuff that grows, even if not technically in a "grove."
