🌰 Is it Cashew nut or Cashew Apple? 🍏
  • Cashew Tree (Anacardium occidentale) is a small, fast-growing marvel that gives us both the crunchy cashew nut and the juicy, quirky "cashew apple"
  • It's a tropical multitasker, thriving in poor soils, drought, and salty winds, and can even fruit in a pot within two years!
  • Cashew #Fun_Facts:

  • ♦️The Fruit Switcheroo: The true fruit is the nut, while the brightly colored "apple" is actually a swollen stem. Talk about a fruit with an identity twist!
  • ♦️The cashew apple has a sweet-astringent flavor and can be eaten fresh, stewed, or turned into delicious fragrant juice. A tangy treat!
  • ♦️Nut Know-How: Raw cashews are caustic and must be roasted outdoors because their fumes are anything but friendly.
  • ♦️Whether in sandy soils or salty winds, this tree keeps thriving, proving it's as tough as it is tasty.
  • ♦️The cashew tree is not just a food source; it's a conversation starter! Perfect for gardeners who love both practicality and personality.
