      forgive my ignorance but that entire fruit produces just one cashew? is that why they’re relatively expensive?

    2. Man I loved that fruit growing up!! It’s best to eat it fresh since it ripens quickly, which is why it isn’t a major export, just the cashew drupe.

      In Spanish it’s called marañon.

    3. the fruit part of the cashew spoils relativly quickly, which is why it is not usually exported

    4. The apple is mostly safe (can have some residue apparently) but you’re probably going to want to ditch the nut. They are coated in an irritant/toxic substance, which is why you will not likely see unshelled cashews anywhere.
