Cashews are a type of nut known for their distinctive shape and creamy texture. Botanically, they are actually seeds that grow on the cashew apple, which is the fruit of the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale). The cashew tree is native to northeastern Brazil and is now widely cultivated in tropical climates around the world, including India, Vietnam, and several African countries.Cashews have a unique, kidney or crescent shape, and their color ranges from pale yellow to light brown. They have a smooth, slightly shiny surface and are typically about 1 to 2 inches long. The flavor of cashews is mildly sweet and buttery, and they are less dense compared to other nuts like almonds or walnuts.
