About

The cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) is a tropical evergreen tree that produces the cashew seed and the cashew apple.

The tree can grow as high as 14 m (46 ft), but the dwarf cultivars, growing up to 6 m (20ft), prove more profitable, with earlier maturity and greater yields.

The cashew seed is often considered a nut in the culinary sense; this cashew nut is eaten on its own, used in recipes, or processed into cashew cheese or cashew butter, source of dietary fibres, weight loss,
good for the skin, protects the eye, prevents blood disease and heart health.
