Cashew apples . . . who would have thought! No clue. I love this channel, History of Simple Things . . .
Cashews are one of my favorite nuts but I had no idea of how they grew and how they are harvested. This was an eye opener and I will appreciate them even more now. Thanks Mel.
Cashew leaves from the tree are toxic. If rubbed on the inside of a glass containing an alcoholic drink as a form of prank, it will knock out the person drinking. I have seen this happen myself.
