Reply to comment by liquid_cat_juice in TIL cashews are actually seeds that grow hanging beneath cashew apples, which are pear-shaped edible fruits that belong to the cashew tree by Arena-1

Have you eaten a cashew apple?

...I get FOMO when it comes to exotic fruits, because there is no way I'm ever going to eat anything like a cashew apple in Northern Europe.

I love custard apples! And starfruit... I can't imagine the fruits I'll never try, though. Eating a new fruit is something that cannot be simulated.

Pawpaws are the absolute best. I live in WV and they are extremely prevalent here. So when my wife and I go on hikes I take a backpack and just pick them when they are ripe. So good.

And it's just interesting to eat something wild, that wasn't cultivated and modified by humans

There are farmers working on them through cross pollination to get a better shelf life and smaller seeds. Those are the only reason they aren't sold in grocery stores.
