Cashews

When you buy a jar of cashews do you know what you are buying? Is it a nut? Ever wonder where cashews come from? From the cashew fruit.

The cashew nut is the stem of the cashew fruit. Each nut corresponds to one fruit, it has to be picked, shelled and roasted. The fruit is then processed into pulp, juices and other foods. The fruit hangs from the tree from the opposite side of the nut. It is fleshy, extremely juicy and on the bitter side, unsweetened cashew juice is an acquired taste.
