About cashew nuts
Cashew nuts are the fruits of the cashew tree. This has its origin in Brazil. But around 1550, the Portuguese settlers started to export them. Today, the largest cashew producers are located in Africa (Madagascar, Benin, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Burkina Faso, Mozambique) and Asia (India, Vietnam, Indonesia).
The cashew nut is a textbook example of a false fruit. The tree has another fruit that is much bigger and visible. The cashew nuts itself hangs very discreetly at the bottom of this much larger false fruit. And the cashew tree has even more defenses for the precious fruit. A poisonous skin surrounds the actual fruit. This can cause skin irritation. The processing of the notes is largely done manually. This of course also explains the relatively high cost price.
Cashew nuts are very healthy. They contain a lot of magnesium, phosphorus, iron and proteins. A dark brown viscous oil is extracted from the shell of the cashew nut.
