For those of you who did not know–it is a single cashew! They grow on trees with a fruit attached. You can tell they are ready when the fruit is a bright red and then they are picked. The fruit can be eaten as it is similar to a peach or nectarine (we are told) and the the nut can be twisted off, baked in the sun (we are baking our one nut–no Lance jokes) or cooked over a fire to separate the oil from the nut and then finally you have a cashew. Lots of work for one nut! I’ve taken this little scrumptious nut for granted and didn’t realize the long process it took to get to me–no more!! Great job, Maria in figuring it out!
