The cashew apple-or the plump part of the cashew fruit, connected to the cashew nut-looks like a mini, oval-shaped boxing glove. Although technically a seed, cashew nuts are the most popular part of the tree-beloved for their creamy texture, high-fat content, and nutrient-rich profile.ĭespite the nuts' dietary praise, their apples (or pseudo fruits) remain mostly out of the spotlight.
Cajú, alcayoiba, anacardo, cajuil, Indian nut, marañón, pepa, or merey are some of the most common global names associated with cashews.
