Apparently its an apple (fruit) with a cashew on the end...now im confused about cashews....but I honestly dont know exactly how theyre grown....

I watched a video of these poor black guys in africa....they grew cocoa beans..dried them and sold them...they didnt make very much money...anyhow, these men had no idea what people did with these beans..so the people interveiwing them gave them chocolate to try...they never had it before and were surprised what the bean was used for...awesome clip! !

They grow on trees.  The cashew has a fruit called a cashew apple and the nut that we know and love is the little dangly part at the bottom.

The cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) is a tropical evergreen tree that produces the cashew nut and the cashew apple. It can grow as high as 14 metres (46 ft), but the dwarf cashew, growing up to 6 metres (20 ft), has proved more profitable, with earlier maturity and higher yields.



The cashew nut is served as a snack or used in recipes, like other nuts, although it is actually a seed. The cashew apple is a fruit, whose pulp can be processed into a sweet, astringent fruit drink or distilled into liqueur.



The shell of the cashew nut yields derivatives that can be used in many applications from lubricants to paints, and other parts of the tree have traditionally been used for snake-bites and other folk remedies.



Originally native to northeastern Brazil, the tree is now widely grown in tropical regions, India and Nigeria being major producers,[1] in addition to Vietnam, the Ivory Coast, and Indonesia.
