Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

It is in the shade of deep sienna,
With intelligence, but not it’s own.
You see, this item is not an individual,
But found in groups, taken alone.
It roasts, but still is rutty,
It’s spread and combined with other miscellanies.
But in the end, it finds its path of speciality,
No matter how small it is in reality.
It can be crunchy in taste,
Or smooth when felt,
But nothing is nuttier then a nutshell.
