I remember when I first saw this fruit, esposo told me about how wonderful it was, and how he never new about the nut. Esposo told me how it was one of his favorite fruits, but he had a hard time describing it. Knowing that it was his favorite fruits, how could it be bad? Well it was awful- but not in the way you would expect. It is juicy tropical fruit that sucks ALL the saliva out of your mouth. It is the most bazaar thing. I think the photo explains it all, that is why cashew nuts are so expensive, it is a small part of the whole fruit.

not so bizarre, is cashew wine--locals don't know about the seed because it's a valuable export--if you give 'em ham, they won't be satisfied with pigtails
I only had the fruit once and didn't care for it either. The lack of awareness of the nuts might be related to the fact that they are semi-toxic to handle or eat unless they have been roasted. I don't think that exporting is the issue. The roasted nuts are sold in little packages all over the place in Honduras.
LG: There used to be a cashew grove across the highway from the entrance to your neighborhood, and when the fruit would fall to the ground, even the pigs wouldn't eat them!
How bizarre! Thanks for sharing with us.
