Fruit of the Cashew Tree

While the fruit of the cashew tree is used for making the world-famous one of a kind CASHEW FENNI, the seeds (cashew nuts) of the cashew fruit make excellent snack to go along with Cashew Fenni with Limca.

The cashew is a tree in the family Anacardiaceae. Its English name derives from the Portuguese name for the fruit of the cashew tree, caju, which in turn derives from the indigenous Tupi name, acajú. Originally native to northern South America, it is now widely grown in tropical climates for its cashew seeds and cashew apples.
