The cashew apple (red in the picture) is very similar to the common cashew, but smaller and more acidic. The fruit's pulp is used for making juices and jams. The cashew nuts, which grow below the fruit (in brown in the picture), are shelled and consumed raw or roasted. They are rich in Vitamin B1 and B2, protein and iron.
