The fruit has great healing ingredients. When my nephew was born he had a rare disease, a constant diarrhea. My mon thought of a natural healer and she gave my sister a remedy of the cashew fruit drink. He wasn't supposed to live long, yet today he's in his sixties and healthy. The diarrhea stopped and he was able to eat well and grew up healthy.

Damn. I’m never going to complain about the high cost of cashews again. 😳

When I was in Vietnam a few year ago, me, my cousins and her friends went to have a picnic near a waterfall. We stumbled upon a small cashew farm and I remember picking up a few cashew apples and ate it. It was sweet and tangy but it was intensely aromatic that you can smell it like 20 feet away. The aroma is hard to describe but unforgettable.

I am Indian and has few cashew trees in my backyard. Feeling proud after crying over not having lavender, olive in my hometown. If you ever come across these I would recommend to suck cashew apple. They are of unique test. If anyone come to India by reading this comment I would be really glad to assist you tasting these. Love and peace.

Ok, now this fruit I should talk about. Because here in Northeast of Brazil, it is part of our culture. It is native from this region. I remember to be always collecting the nuts with my cousins to roast them at the end of the day, just for fun. It is dangerous because it kind of explods when you are cooking them, there is this kind of jet of burning oil. We always do that in the cashew season, which goes from August to November. People even make tattoos with the oil that comes out from the raw cashew nuts (crazy).

wow! thank you for this vid! iam crying right now! iam from the Philippines, my father, who passed away 7 yrs ago, was a farmer and he had this half a hectare of land dedicated to cashew trees! it was a summer tradition for me and my siblings to go to the farm and pick cashew nuts, broil them, crack the cooked nuts that even make our hands covered in black then divide the cooked nuts evenly to the 10 of us! 😂😂😂 yeah, we were 10 kids! and the cashew apple? it was definitely delicious! i put salt on it or some fermented fish sauce and voila'! excellent rice company! iam drooling! one of the best times is that my nephews and nieces were able to experience the summer tradition too!

"Marañon" it's what's called in Nicaragua, here we also eat the actual fruit, like a sweet/soury kick to it

Well then, turn the cashew apple into a liquor and you've got yourself another cash crop to export: Cashew-Apple Martini, anyone?

Well be buggered! I never knew any of that. No wonder I subscribed for the education. Thankyou again my dear. Congrats on the growth of the channel. Another example of keeping it simple and it works!

I wanted the video to be longer!!!!! Very good one!

Am I the only one who says “bless you” after someone else says “cashew”. Awesome channel.

I have eclectic interests but I have to say this channel is one of the best produced, best presented and most interesting things I have seen. You, gal, are doing a fabulous job!

Thank you Cashew lady. I've enjoyed cashews a great portion of my adult life yet you have increased my knowledge of them significantly. Cashews are a great snack during a football game and I certainly appreciate the hard work of those people that process them. If a cashew grows out of an apple then can it be said, "A cashew a day keeps the doctor away"? God Bless.

We grow both the red and the yellow. We eat both the fruit and the cashew (after roasting). However, we have always been calling the 'apples', cherries. If the cashew is still attached, we call the whole thing a cherry-nut. Cashews grow all over in the Caribbean. Greetings from St. Maarten 🇸🇽

I'll cashew outside

Just wanna say we have a cashew tree in our back yard and we like to freeze the seed and apple together. There is a bitter oily coating on the apple so after they are frozen we peel off skin with potato peeler and then eat the cashew apples like a popcicle holding the seed. They are really good. Watching from Belize.

Whoa, In Indonesia Cashew apple known as Jambu Mete and most of the people love it, so less waste for cashew... :)

Wow! I've never heard or a cashew apple? This is why I love this channel!!

All that for a tiny cashew nut - those apples look so succulent - I didnt know that was where cashew nuts came from crazy - best video I've seen in ages , fascinating thank you

My 3-yr old son loves your "how it grows" series. Thank you! 😊

Well I did learn something today that I had no idea of THANKS VERY MUCH True food TV ⭐️ 🇳🇿

I remember when I was a kid we used to pick these cashew nut and then throw them into a firepit and wait for them to cook, we had to stay further away from the pit so we won't get burned because of the nut spitting its toxic oil when it gets hot.. but the smell of the nuts while it's cooked the pit is the best thing you'll ever smell we'll take them out of the pit when the spitting noise is over, then we'll crack them out and eat them fresh..... best tasting cashew nuts ever

Thank you for your hard work bringing these content to the masses .🙏

We grow cashews in Nicaragua; I remember growing up and eating the cashew pear and roasting the cashew. We make refreshments out of the fruit. Yummy! 😊

im one of the lucky ones who found this hidden treasure of youtube called how does it grows

The toxic cashew oil are processed and used here in the Philippines as a fungal cream its actually very good in removing skin tags, warts and many skin problems.

Great to see that you are highlighting the hard work and inherent risks behind the crop. Maybe you could put links in the description to the articles that pop up in future videos?

Wow, out of all the awesome information you so graciously give, that may be the single most interesting factoid to date! Thank you for all you do.

I was born in El Salvador and we call the fruit marañon and the cashew, pepa. As a kid I would roast them and the smell is just soooooo good.

It's so funny to watch this because I've got a cashew tree in my yard. I remember as a child biting into the fruit and the juice leaking down my face and clothes. The juice leaves a nasty stain 😂

very educational. concise and informative. Thanks!

I love all cashews, they are many kind of cashews in my village. My friend's sometime taking the seed for making their bloody tattoo. :-)

Very informative!

When she smiles about the people being injured it shows the darkness of her soul

you learn something new every day..

music / voice balance excellent - understood everything you said - ty and ty for posting : )

cashew apple are delicious, here in Brazil is named "caju" and cashew is named "castanha de caju".

The liquor made from cashew is called fenny it's famous in Goa. You could elaborate the cashew nutritional values comparing peanuts too. I'm sure you will be surprised too about the results. :) Great work guys.. you guys are amazing.

wow!!! I never know that!! learned something new today!! awesome, keep it coming!!

Please make longer videos like you used to!!!! I absolutely enjoy those - where you get into more details :)

i love your channel and cashews. i blend them into a cashew cheese sauce and put on kale or broccoli and dehydrate them to make chips

Cashews are my favorite! Wow! Poison? That's crazy!! I must admit,I love coming home from work and seeing a new video!! So Great!! Thank you!! :-)

Brings memories of my grandma. She used to roast these. This wad when I was little, in El Salvador.

Wow! Very interesting. Amazing stuff!

I remember when I was a kid, my grandmother always tells me not to grill cashew nuts near any animals coz they might get sick. Now I understand why! Tnx!

Malaysian called it Gajus (the nut+apple).. But we here in East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia call it "Jambu Golok" 😊😁.. The nut portion we consumed as what displayed in video(cashew nut).. But for apple portion, usually we Malay cook it as vegetable side dishes.. Most popular one.. Sayur Masak Lemak Jambu Golok (Cocunut Milk Soupy).. Its delicous. 😀😁🤭

Absolutely brilliant. I love these cashews, but never knew the process. amazing ;-)

As a child back in Panamá, we used to roasted them, we all brothers, cousins and friends gathered together and cooked them. The fruit was used to make drinks and also make marmalade. Thanks for the videos!!!

we had a cashew tree in our back yard. the fruit has a strong flavor, but i like it. My grandma used to make juice out of it. many of the fruits fall to the ground, so as a child i'd pick them up, get the cashews, get some sticks and start a fire, throw the cashews in, and when they were roasted, i cracked them open with some rocks.

As someone who grew up in the Brazilian countryside, it actually took me years to eat a cashew nut, I was only acquainted with its apple. It smells deliciously sweet.

Now I want to try the cashew apple. I'm going to be on the hunt for it. :)

Awesome video. Keep up the great work.

Everytime we eat cashews, we need to think about the people who earn a dollar a day to get them for us.

Oh boy do i love your videos!

Well I certainly learned something today!!

Wow really did not know about cashews except when travelling to Danang Vietnam we bought some kilo of roasted ones..Thanks for the.video, helps us to understand more of the fruits.

Imagine how many of these things it takes, when you only get 1 nut per apple...🤔

And yes the cashew fruit is like heaven on your lips. The alcohol even more so 😂

My school grows the cashew but we eat the apples. I am So glad that i found this channel. You have the best information

I remembered picking these out from a tree at my aunts farm and eating the yellow cashew fruit. The sweet followed by light sourness of fruit still lingers in my mind. I wish to have these again before I died.

Cashew apples are delicious! And so is its juice, one of my favorites. People should try it. :)

Awww, your voice 😍😍😍

i love cashew apple, it's light and sweet almost like a pear. i ate them almost everyday when i was in thailand.

Didn’t know this. Thank you.

One of our Capuchin Franciscan friars, who was born in Vietnam, returned from a trip there and brought back cashews sold by Vietnamese nuns. I ate several of them while watching TV, and for the next three days I felt sick. I am sure that the nuts had traces of urushiol, the poison of poison ivy or poison oak. Nothing like having "poison oak" in your intestines.

I'd love to try a cashew apple; they look delicious. When I first found out a while back that cashews were in the same family as poison ivy, I was surprised. Anacardiaceae, something like that; that might not be quite right I'd have to look it up.

So much I have yet to learn!

Here in Brazil we call it “cajú” and it tastes very good, there is even caipirinha made with cajú and its really nice!

Once again you taught me something I didn't know and I know everything 😉 Good stuff👍🏽

I only use the fruit part not the seed.

Real person, not a robot= you got my LIKE

Interesting info and a great video!

Back in the 70s my grandma just throw these into the fire , avoila we have sweet after meals . Rip grandma

Such a succinct and informative video - I was particularly shocked by the difficult and dangerous working conditions in India, thanks for taking the time to mention that! Is there any particular company we should contact to demand better treatment/conditions? Are there best practices? More ethical options? Any way to buy the apples?

This video left our a critical point that I feel everyone was hoping for- how do I make the Cashew Fruit Liquor?

Thanks for good information.

Thanks for pointing out the dangers to cashew workers. I have tried to do this over the years to many people so they will value them as a food, but with little success. I love them myself but am always aware of the real cost and will not eat them mindlessly or process them into a dip when other things could easily be used. They really are a luxury food because of the difficulty in extracting them butpeople all want them at a cheaper price. They should be MORE expensive, not less and a far bigger amount should go to the workers. Basically because it is a dangerous occupation and difficult tiring work with a lot of health risks. There is a byproduct, the nasty gunky oil, which highly sought after for engineering purposes. Please eat them and enjoy them, but with awareness, and not out of not knowing how they get to you.

Wow!!! Another astonishing information thanks TRUE FOOD😊😊😊😊😊😊btw is Mangoes belongs to this family??? I just heard it😊😊😊

Thank you for putting the subtitles!

Great pun at the end. 10/10

Wow. I love cashews and I never knew these things.

Fun Fact, back home(Philippines) when we roast the shell any chicken nearby that inhales the fume gets dizzy or dies. It was a mystery to me before

Thank you so much! That was all new to me and amazing to hear. I will think twice about buying cashews from now on.

Cool! Thank you, I’ve often wondered about cashews.

second, loved the new editing

I am from Kerala, India. In my parents farm they had many cashew trees when I was young. Usually they ripe during Indian school summer holidays. We (brothers and friends) usually pluck tender cashew nuts (before the nut shell start to darken/harden). Using sharp knife and with a thick cloth as protection we cut the nut and take the tender nut from the shell. Believe me the tender nuts are more tastier than the ripe ones.

I was just waiting for new Video. here it goes. Thank you.

oh my god.... my cousins and i always pick cashew when we're in the farm and cook it by ourselves too. didn't know it could be toxic! lol

My friend and i love to eat cashew apples and cook the cashew separate when we were young, we live in indonesia btw

I'm from Mozambique and my grandma has like a bunch cashew trees in her home and they literally do the roasting and removing of shells to send to us. I never need to buy cashews it's dope

Your energy is amazing!

wow great thanks now on my way to look up cashew apples

I grew up in Viet Nam eating the fruits and discarding the seeds, now I wonder how much I've made just by saving them. haha

Who's the first person who figured out you can eat stuff like this?

Here in Puerto Rico the apple is called "pajuil" and is very sweet and good!

Great clip. I love cashews. Very informative!

Yay, Iam first to comment. Once again u have taught me something new, thanks. God bless.

God loves you guys unconditionally. Turn to Him before it’s too late. 🙏

I love cashews. Thank you for an informative video!
