I am lead to believe that most of the in shell nuts and some fruit are
irradiated that you buy from shops.

This then means that they cannot be grown, as they are technically
dead.

But how do I know what has and what has not ??

Irradiated food has to be labelled as such. In addition, only one UK
license has been granted for food irradiation and this covers only herbs,
spices and vegetable seasonings. So it's most unlikely that supermarket
produce in the UK has been treated.
