Did you know that a Cashew nut comes from a fruit? Traveling in Costa Rica was the first time I learned that! The Cashew trees produce a soft fruit (when ripened) and each fruit contains only one cashew nut. If you are a cashew lover, enjoy every savory bite as the effort to obtain just one cashew is tedious!
Recommendation: If you are a "daredevil", be sure to taste the fruit of a Cashew. I did!
Fun Fact: The Cashew fruit has health benefits including boosting the immune system and preventing cancer cells from duplicating. The Costa Rican locals tend to make a special Cashew drink with sugar to help boost their child's immune system when they are sick.
