Reply to comment by 5up3rj 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

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.

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.
