cashew-nuts

Curved tropical seeds

Cashew-nuts is the hyphenated plural of cashew nut—the kidney-shaped seed of a tropical tree, eaten roasted or raw.

The spelling appears in older texts and some British usage, though *cashew nuts* (two words) or simply *cashews* predominates in contemporary English: a bowl of salted cashew-nuts.
