Cashew -20
The cashew (Anacardium occidentale) originated in Brazil but is now cultivated extensively in all tropical areas, notably in India and East Africa. The cashew fruit, which contains the seed or 'nut,' hangs at the end of what is referred to as the cashew 'apple' – the edible swollen fruit stem or pedicel.
