Raw Cashew Nuts From Nigeria

Description

The cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) is a tropical evergreen tree that produces the cashew seed and the cashew apple.
It can grow as high as *4 metres (*6 ft), but the dwarf cashew, growing up to 6 metres (*0 ft), has proved more profitable, with earlier maturity and higher yields.
The cashew seed is served as a snack or used in recipes, like nuts. The cashew apple is a light reddish to yellow fruit, whose pulp can be processed into a sweet, astringent fruit drink or distilled into liquor.
The shell of the cashew seed yields derivatives that can be used in many applications from lubricants to paints, and other parts of the tree have traditionally been used for snake-bites and other folk remedies.
Originally native to northeastern Brazil, the tree is now widely cultivated in Vietnam, Nigeria and India as major production countries..
