Photo - A cashew nut ready for harvesting

This is what the cashew nut is like when it is ready for harvesting. The yellow part is the fruit. It is either eaten raw with salt and pepper or used to make fenny, the local hooch. It is definately an aquired taste and one that we certainly have not managed to aquire. The actual nut is encased in a very hard shell. These shells have to be burned to get to the nut. No wonder a bag of cashew nuts are not cheap.Posted by Picasa
