edit About Cashews
Cashews are pseudo fruits of the cashew tree from which the seeds, found at the bottom of the cashew apple, are obtained. They are native to Brazil.
A kidney-shaped nut that grows out from the bottom of the cashew apple, the shell is highly toxic so great care is taken in shelling and cleaning the nut, they have a sweet, buttery flavor and contain about 48 percent fat, and because of their high fat content, they should be stored, tightly wrapped, in the refrigerator to retard rancidity, and as with most nuts, roasting cashews brings out their nutty flavor.
These nuts are relatively low in calories and saturated fat, and provide an excellent source of copper, magnesium and phosphorus.
Cashew nuts are popular in Thai, Chinese, and Indian cuisine. Often used as a garnish.
Vegans use cashew nuts to make a cheese substitute.
Cashew nuts are sold raw, dry or honey roasted, and salted - providing an excellent snack or additive to salads and stir fries. These nuts are also used to make flavorful butter.
The cashew apple can be eaten raw or used in the production of a cashew juice (mixed with water in a blender).

Wikipedia
The cashew (''Anacardium occidentale''; syn. ''Anacardium curatellifolium'' A.St.-Hil.) is a tree in the flowering plant family Anacardiaceae. The plant is native to northeastern Brazil. Its English name derives from the Portuguese name for the fruit of the cashew tree, ''caju'', which in turn derives from the indigenous Tupi name, ''acajú''. It is now widely grown in tropical climates for its cashew "nuts" (see below) and cashew apples.
