Indira, that is just AMAZING to me!!!! This is one of those things that I have just never thought about. "Where does a cashew come from?" My first thought would be, inside a hard shell like a walnut. But to see THIS...I can hardly believe my eyes!
So of course I had to find out more: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashew
Fabulously interesting to learn about the cashew...and it's grown from an evergreen tree! (I would have thought it would be deciduous, like an apple tree) And the "apple" can be eaten or made into a yummy drink...and wow wow wow, the shell of the cashew is toxic and contains urushiol, the very same oil-substance in poison oak--which we have growing all over our property! TOTALLY CRAZY!!
WHAT AN EDUCATION!! Thank you for fascinating me with your gorgeous picture, I love to learn more about the world and now I know about cashews!
(By the way, you might consider adding a link to Wiki so people can read about cashews too.) :)
Oh, I have a question for you:
Do you know how pineapples are grown? What is your first thought in your head?
Now, go see if you are right: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineapple
I saw these growing in Hawaii and my eyes almost flew out of my head! :D
