Cashew nuts have a lower fat content than most nuts and nearly 75% of that fat is unsaturated fat containing olenic acid which has been shown to be effective in promoting health cardiovascular systems.

Cashew nuts were originally native to the northern jungles of South America but now they are grown across many tropical climates with India as the world’s major producer.

The plant is a small evergreen tree that grows a pseudocarp fruit, the cashew apple.  The cashew apple matures to have a strong sweet flavour and it is very juicy with a delicate skin which makes it unsuitable for transporting to distant markets.  They are regarded as delicacies locally to where they are grown.  A single cashew nut forms in a drupe under the fruit.
