Delicious! I grew up eating this since my grandpa was a farmer. It’s juicy and sweet. There’s even an alcoholic drink made from the cashew apple.

If you’re in a tropical country where cashews are cultivated, the cashew apple’s available in late spring (April here)

My grandpa used to roast the whole seed casing, break them open to get to the nut, and roast the nuts before giving them to me. I didn’t understand the reason he gave due to language barriers, but understood it after reading your comment.

It’s juicy and sweet. It has a short season (April in my country), and I look forward to eating the ones from my uncle’s farm.

It’s a triple distilled spirit (45% abv)
ETA: I think it’s called Feni. I tasted it once at my dad’s friend’s wedding. It was sweet-ish, kinda like Malibu.
