I watched a video several years ago about cashew apples and seeds. Those are among my favorite nuts.

@LadyDuck they are my favorite but but I rarely eat then as they are so costly here compared other nuts like peanuts.

@allknowing I saw the documentary when we still lived in France, I think to remember it was from Ivory Coast (West Africa), I think it's the second largest producer.

Wonderful information. We were in Penang on a cruise in about 2013 and watched women extracting cashews from fruit that looked more pears than your apples. I was amazed at the process and have never moaned about the price since.

Are those cooked or raw? They look like those candy pumpkins you can buy for Halloween. Yes, I'm ignorant when it comes to cashews. I love them and I love cashew milk.

Ripe Cashew apples are eaten fresh although they are steamed to get rid of their astringency while making juice. What is cashew milk?

- I didn't think the seed would be sticking out like that! So you can eat the actual "apple"? I wouldn't even know where to find them!

That's amazing you have a couple of those trees. Here, cashew nuts themselves can be somewhat expensive. Surely the fruit tastes nothing like the seed?

Good to know there are honest myLotters who do not pretend to know everything (lol) The cashew apple is nutritious It does have some astringency which can be avoided by adding salt.

Isn’t the cashew seed poisonous when they’re raw, which is why you roast them?
