cashew
Curved tropical nut
A cashew is an edible kidney-shaped nut that grows attached to the bottom of a fleshy fruit called the cashew apple.
The nut is sold roasted and often salted: a bowl of cashews, cashew butter.
Cashews are native to Brazil but now cultivated widely in tropical regions.
The shell contains a caustic oil that must be removed before eating.
