Overview

The cashew, known botanically as Anacardium occidentale, is the seed of a tropical evergreen shrub related to mango, pistachio and poison ivy.
Commercial growers cultivate cashews in warm, humid climates across the globe;
Vietnam, Nigeria, India, Brazil, and Indonesia are among the top producer.
The seeds of most fruits grow within the flesh, but the cashew seed hangs from the bottom of a cashew apple, essentially a swollen stem.
A hard shell with two layers encases the kidney-shaped cashew seed, which must be harvested by hand.
