Cashew fruit

Written by kevin

While I was shopping yesterday I spotted a woman selling cashew fruit. Here’s what they look like:
A bowl of long yellow fruit with kidney-shaped nuts sticking out of one end of each.

I saw them a lot in Abuja but the selection of fruit available in Kaduna isn’t usually so good. They’re a bit strange, sweet and fruity with so much juice it’s best to eat them outdoors but a sort of “dry” taste. The bit sticking out of the end contains the cashew nut, which is not edible raw and will cause nasty skin irritation.
