A long time ago, people did not know the real value of the cashew tree. In fact, people called this plant “the lazy man’s tree” as the only use they could think of was using the seeds for a board game called “sunka”. Later did the people realize that the cashew plant is actually more than just a lazy man’s tree. People learned they can actually make a living out of this seemingly innocent plant. They later called the cashew tree, “The golden tree”.

Cashew  is widely grown in the tropics because of its cashew nuts and apples. The cashew apple can be eaten raw or used in the production of jam, chutney, pickles or various beverages like juice and wine. It contains potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, selenium, copper and vitamins. Whether roasted, salted or sugared, the cashew nut is often used as flavorful complement to appetizers, main dishes and desserts.
