Here's an even better bit - cashews are closely related to poison ivy and, if improperly cleaned cashews are consumed, you can come down with what is essentially an internal poison ivy-like condition.
Source - been there, done that.

I get full body hives if I eat cashews. It’s my main allergy, with green peas being a mild nuisance.

So what does the cashew fruit taste like? Is it edible?
liquid_cat_juice t1_j8qquh6 wrote
It's also called cashew in English because the fruit is called caju natively!
we call the nut "castanha de caju" because it is the "nut of the caju" fruit
hope that clears up even more!

Did you know that cashews cashews come from a fruit?

Dont open the seed pod that the cashew is in. Its surrounded by toxic caustic substances. I chuck mine in an old metal wheelbarrow and burn the cover off.

Cashews are seeds. Almonds are pits. Peanuts are legumes. I'm starting to wonder if the only real nuts in the world are those of the deez tree.

...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.

Years ago, I showed that to my toddler, and he loved it. The next day, my wife texted me at work that the baby was doing something weird.
He's singing a song, over and over. I cant quite make it out, but I'd swear he's saying that cashews come from a fruit

I had cashew fruit juice once. It tasted a bit like mango juice. (Although it may have been blended with other juices.)

It’s juicy and sweet. It has a short season (April in my country), and I look forward to eating the ones from my uncle’s farm.
FormalRaccoon637 t1_j8rcdl7 wrote
My grandpa used to roast the whole seed casing, break them open to get to the nut, and roast the nuts before giving them to me. I didn’t understand the reason he gave due to language barriers, but understood it after reading your comment.

If you’re in a tropical country where cashews are cultivated, the cashew apple’s available in late spring (April here)

Serious question, what is this post supposed to accomplish? Is it a troll? Did you mis read the title? Did you think you were helping somehow?
Because the post is literally about how cashews come from the fruit of a cashew tree. So what is posting the phrase "Did you know that cashews come from a fruit" as the entirety of your response to OP supposed to accomplish? I don't follow the logic here.

I've stopped eating cashews after learning about the (almost exclusively) female workers who harvest them.
Go ahead. Try it. Google "Cashew worker hands"
The highly corrosive acids don't do any good.

Probably a similar storry with making ackee edible in Jamaica (not ripe is somewhat poisonus). If you have a whole lot of something you start wondering how it can be used or changed to be useable, and people start experimenting.

When I went on a tour in Belize they said it makes a great wine that re-ferments in your stomach so you get drunk twice. Pretty wild concept and surprised it's not sold/produced much outside of Central America.

It’s about as sweet as a watermelon and has a tropical taste. If you’ve had Five Alive, it tastes almost like that. The juice is great with cachaça or vodka and a little salt. Just make sure it’s ripe.

OMG - who wrote this? An excellent snippet:
“The raw cashews are then roasted at high heat, either by steaming them in a large rotating drum or vat of boiling oil to remove urushiol remnants before they can be shelled, thoroughly dried, and peeled.”
So, they’re ROASTED by STEAMING them in BOILING OIL.

Called Caju in Brazil and it's more like a bell pepper than an apple. I've seen people eat them raw right off the tree. Locals pile them up and burn them by the side of the road the extract the nut inside. The flesh is delicious when squeezed into a juice.

No it’s a thing. I developed a latex allergy and I had to give up any foods that contain natural latex like bananas (turns out they’re not supposed to burn the roof of your mouth), and I’m supposed to go easy stuff like a avocados. If I eat them regularly it could slowly make my allergy worse, same with coming into contact with latex products.
Sometimes it’s not the FRUIT you’re allergic to, but a COMPOUND inside the fruit.

Downvotes are probably because of how aggressive your comment sounds
HeliumIsotope t1_j8ycgel wrote
Probably. Was hoping that the "serious question" part would make people understand that I was genuinely asking haha.
Not a big deal though, in the end I got a good answer and that's all that matters. No offense was intended, the person I responded to never let me know they found my comment rude or aggressive and I got a real answer. That's about as good as it gets sometimes.
I can come off as rough, but I'm always genuine and take feedback when the person I respond to has a problem. I can't let random people with no stake in the Convo get me down. If they want to downvote to teach me a lesson, so be it lol. Only way to change is to discuss in a respectful way, if they can't do that I won't be bothered and I'll just laugh it off.
