Originated in Brazil, got its roots from Portuguese sailors who brought cashew trees to India in the 16th century.
In modern days, cashews are mostly grown in African countries are exported for processing to India or Vietnam, after grading.
About two months after the fruit has set, the apple will take on a pink or red hue, and the nut will turn gray, signaling
they are ready to be picked. The nut can then be twisted to separate them from the apple.
After cashews are harvested, they must be carefully treated and processed to remove the nut from the casing.
