Description
Cashews are the kidney-shaped seeds that grow inside a cashew apple which is also known as a drupe. The cashew fruit has two distinct parts: the fleshy pear-shaped stalk or stem known as the cashew-apple, two to four inches in length and the heart-shaped nut, the true fruit, about an inch in length that is attached to the lower end of the apple. Cashew in its natural form is a soft, white and a meaty kernel. Cashews are usually classified as nuts because they possess many of the similar physical and nutritional characteristics as that of true nuts. Cashews are native to Brazil but today India is the world's largest producer as well as consumer of cashews.They are available in market as whole, powdered form, roasted or even fried and salty form.
