What is fresh cashew fruit?

Fresh cashew fruit is the edible fruit of the cashew tree, which is native to Brazil but is now grown in many tropical regions around the world. The cashew fruit is pear-shaped and has a thin outer skin that is yellow or red in color. Inside the fruit is a juicy pulp that is sweet and tangy, with a somewhat nutty flavor. The cashew fruit is rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and iron, and is a good source of antioxidants. In addition to being eaten fresh, the cashew fruit can also be used to make juice, jams, and preserves. However, the cashew nut itself is not actually a fruit, but is rather the seed of the cashew tree.
