The cashew fruit is a unique tropical fruit that comes from the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale). It actually has two parts – the cashew apple, which is the fleshy, pear-shaped part that can be red, yellow, or orange, and the cashew nut, which grows outside the fruit in a hard shell. The cashew apple is juicy, slightly tangy-sweet, and rich in vitamin C, while the nut is roasted and eaten worldwide as a popular snack. Cashew trees are widely grown in India, Brazil, and many other tropical regions, making the fruit both agriculturally and economically important.
