What is a cashew?

The Cashew nut is a nut that is typically found in North America and parts of the Middle East.

The nut’s name derives from the word cashew, which means “candy.”

A number of cultures have been associated with the nuts and they have become a staple in many cultures around the world.

Cashews are a relatively inexpensive snack and can be used to make a variety of savory or sweet dishes, as well as nut-flavored beverages and nuts.
