Cashew, scientifically known as Anticardium occidental, is a tropical evergreen tree native to Brazil, now widely cultivated in tropical regions for its nuts and apples. The cashew nut, often mistaken as a seed, is encased in a kidney-shaped shell hanging from the bottom of a pear-shaped false fruit called the cashew apple. Known for its rich, creamy texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor, cashews are versatile in culinary applications, from snacking to cooking and baking. Beyond their culinary appeal, cashews offer health benefits, being a good source of healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals, contributing to heart health, bone strength, and overall well-being.
