This is a cashew fruit:

Apparently the fruit part itself tastes like a ~~creamy apple~~ sliced pepper, but it goes off quick and so we never see it in supermarkets. Each one is a single nut. You won't look at a bag of these guys the same way ever again.

I love how the bottom looks angry

Angry nut in a big hat.

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Angry Bottom sounds like a suburb from The Hobbit, or a byline from my X's online dating account.

so we never see it in supermarkets

Talk about yourself. *Dances in Brazilian*

Knowledge is knowing cashew is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The fuit probably could go in a fruit salad. The nut, though, is a nut

[–] emeralddawn45@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Cashew nuts are fantastic in a fruit salad though... cashews, mango, strawberries, cherries and tart apple slices? With maybe a teensy bit of honey drizzled over? Thatd be delicious.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

Cashews are definitely S-tier nuts and that dish sounds fantastic, I'd serve it all over a bit of yogurt, damn!

[–] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

That's bullshit. Cashews are awesome in fruit salad.

I love cashews. Eat them by the fistful. I always think about the energy and time to get each one of those nuts to my table, only for me to gobble them down in 3 seconds

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I think of this too. I worry that they're not really an ecologically sound food source - i think it takes a lot of water to grow a cashew because of the fruit, which is discarded.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 0 points 4 months ago

I feel like if farmers grew it locally, they would probably be distributing the fruits in their neighbourhood and maybe having roast parties every harvest.

...a creamy apple? It's closer to a bell pepper but more dry IMO

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've never tried, so just repeating what Ive heard. Is it just a shell then, no flesh like an apple?

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I've never eaten it raw, but cooked it was an empty shape like a sliced pepper. It was good, but creamy apple is wild as a description

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

updated my initial post, thanks

Kinda disappointed. I really want to taste a creamy apple now

Also I think you're not meant to eat it raw becausr of some toxins?

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well, good news... The amount of fruits we have no name for is insane in tropical regions. There's trees that just casually make candy pods, like those little jello fruit cups that used to be popular. There's so many with unique flavors, and even more that are vaguely similar

There's definitely something that tastes like a creamy apple, there's too many fruits out there for that not to be a thing. Nature likes to chemically mix and match

oh I've had custard apple before, and not been totally blown away by it. I forget why. Maybe because it tastes more musty than custardy?

Thanks anyway!

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 3 points 4 months ago

Oh and as far as the toxins, you'll get a straight up chemical burn if you touch the seed pods. Usually they use tools to pull off the shell and roast it, which can lead to a warm raw cashew when you bust it open

You can eat the fruits without that, but you have to be careful to keep out the caustic oils. Cooking it is probably just safer

There's a what now

I invite down votes. Cashews are delicious, but 9 times out of 10 their source is problematic.
