The fruit has great healing ingredients. When my nephew was born he had a rare disease, a constant diarrhea. My mon thought of a natural healer and she gave my sister a remedy of the cashew fruit drink. He wasn't supposed to live long, yet today he's in his sixties and healthy. The diarrhea stopped and he was able to eat well and grew up healthy.
I am Indian and has few cashew trees in my backyard. Feeling proud after crying over not having lavender, olive in my hometown. If you ever come across these I would recommend to suck cashew apple. They are of unique test. If anyone come to India by reading this comment I would be really glad to assist you tasting these. Love and peace.
This almost sounds perverse.
@ English is my mother tongue and I understood also. I think curve ball might have been trying to make a joke.
In Jamaica we eat that fruit but we call it cashew banana which has a kind of sweet tangy taste. When the cashew is being roasted we have to be careful that the fowls in the yard doesn’t eat parts of the cashew with the froth because it’s toxic and will cause them to get a scab like thing on their face we call it yaws .
Friend went to South America to work missionary church building and had cashew apple juice for first time. He didn't know what he was drinking but liked it.
ok yeah we'll just pop over there next weekend and take u up on this mate !
wow! thank you for this vid! iam crying right now! iam from the Philippines, my father, who passed away 7 yrs ago, was a farmer and he had this half a hectare of land dedicated to cashew trees! it was a summer tradition for me and my siblings to go to the farm and pick cashew nuts, broil them, crack the cooked nuts that even make our hands covered in black then divide the cooked nuts evenly to the 10 of us! 😂😂😂 yeah, we were 10 kids! and the cashew apple? it was definitely delicious! i put salt on it or some fermented fish sauce and voila'! excellent rice company! iam drooling! one of the best times is that my nephews and nieces were able to experience the summer tradition too!
Damn. I’m never going to complain about the high cost of cashews again. 😳
Oh I'll still complain... Cause I'm cheap. But I do love cashews so I pay it all the same...
I am from Kerala. Poor people ( women) who process it are I'll paid, and most of them loose their nails over time. Very dirty Industry
Seriously. I feel so bad about having cashews!!
The cashew apple is not sweet at all
We have cashew here.
"Marañon" it's what's called in Nicaragua, here we also eat the actual fruit, like a sweet/soury kick to it
Que hay de nuevo paisana? Gracias por recordarme lo delicioso que son los maranones.
Like a very dry wine but sweet
Ok, now this fruit I should talk about. Because here in Northeast of Brazil, it is part of our culture. It is native from this region. I remember to be always collecting the nuts with my cousins to roast them at the end of the day, just for fun. It is dangerous because it kind of explods when you are cooking them, there is this kind of jet of burning oil. We always do that in the cashew season, which goes from August to November. People even make tattoos with the oil that comes out from the raw cashew nuts (crazy).
Wow, awesome insight here! Thanks for sharing this stuff.
interesting.
cheers buddy apreciate your efforts ( munching a bag now )
Yup the Portuguese brought it here from Brazil. We make Feni out of the fruits. The juice is sweet but itchy.

Which country, Melissa? 😋
When I was in Vietnam a few year ago, me, my cousins and her friends went to have a picnic near a waterfall. We stumbled upon a small cashew farm and I remember picking up a few cashew apples and ate it. It was sweet and tangy but it was intensely aromatic that you can smell it like 20 feet away. The aroma is hard to describe but unforgettable.
Wow, what a cool memory.
Thank you Cashew lady. I've enjoyed cashews a great portion of my adult life yet you have increased my knowledge of them significantly. Cashews are a great snack during a football game and I certainly appreciate the hard work of those people that process them. If a cashew grows out of an apple then can it be said, "A cashew a day keeps the doctor away"? God Bless.
Well be buggered! I never knew any of that. No wonder I subscribed for the education. Thankyou again my dear. Congrats on the growth of the channel. Another example of keeping it simple and it works!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Peter H well said!
We grow both the red and the yellow. We eat both the fruit and the cashew (after roasting). However, we have always been calling the 'apples', cherries. If the cashew is still attached, we call the whole thing a cherry-nut. Cashews grow all over in the Caribbean.
Greetings from St. Maarten 🇸🇽
Here in Brasil they are called cajus, and they are delicious. I'm not fun of the juice or even the cashews, but I love caju. They are so good.
They grow in the Philippines to. There the apple is yellow and they generally throw the nut away. I've tried the apple there, it is good...
This is just a delightful story. Thanks for sharing! 😊
I have eclectic interests but I have to say this channel is one of the best produced, best presented and most interesting things I have seen. You, gal, are doing a fabulous job!
The toxic cashew oil are processed and used here in the Philippines as a fungal cream its actually very good in removing skin tags, warts and many skin problems.
Am I the only one who says “bless you” after someone else says “cashew”.
Awesome channel.
Just wanna say we have a cashew tree in our back yard and we like to freeze the seed and apple together. There is a bitter oily coating on the apple so after they are frozen we peel off skin with potato peeler and then eat the cashew apples like a popcicle holding the seed. They are really good. Watching from Belize.
Also watching from Belize 😁
I remember when I was a kid we used to pick these cashew nut and then throw them into a firepit and wait for them to cook, we had to stay further away from the pit so we won't get burned because of the nut spitting its toxic oil when it gets hot..
but the smell of the nuts while it's cooked the pit is the best thing you'll ever smell
we'll take them out of the pit when the spitting noise is over, then we'll crack them out and eat them fresh..... best tasting cashew nuts ever
Well then, turn the cashew apple into a liquor and you've got yourself another cash crop to export: Cashew-Apple Martini, anyone?
U need Apple's..
It is Feni
Its called Feni and that's authentic to Goa,India
I hate cashews and wouldn’t touch the stuff, but I fully support the idea.
Have a field of them near my house. It makes a very good, very dry wine.
I wanted the video to be longer!!!!! Very good one!
Thank you!
Whoa, In Indonesia Cashew apple known as Jambu Mete and most of the people love it, so less waste for cashew... :)
Yay, Indonesia!
Harry Kurniawan East Coast Malaysia Called it Jambu Golok
Jambu monyet juga btw 🐒
@harry kurniawan In sri Lanka "jambu" means "rose apple" 😊
In the Malaysia state of Kelantan, we also call them "ketereh", commonly pronounced "ttere"; other names of cashew fruit found in Malaysia are "gajus" and "janggus".
I was born in El Salvador and we call the fruit marañon and the cashew, pepa. As a kid I would roast them and the smell is just soooooo good.
Cashews are toxic how did you survive amigo?
We call the casing of the cashew "semilla" which means seed (makes more sense in Español). We don't just throw it into the fire right after cutting it from the fruit. It's still raw and the casing has a sap that stains your clothes, forever. First we let the sun dry the casing, like what happens to a leaf after you put it in the sun, after a bit it dries off. Usually a week, then it's ready to throw it in the fire, let the cashew roast inside the casing. And just take in that sweet sweet aroma as the casing is burning. Perhaps when it's raw is what makes it toxic. But I had never heard that before. As a 7 year old kid along with my cousin would go look for marañones, eat the fruit, put the seed where the sun was hottest and wait a few days to enjoy the smell and wonderful taste of cashews. 😋😋😋😋😋😋
The liquor made from cashew is called fenny it's famous in Goa. You could elaborate the cashew nutritional values comparing peanuts too. I'm sure you will be surprised too about the results. :) Great work guys.. you guys are amazing.
Thank you! Great points here.
Fenny is potent stuff !
I'll cashew outside
Ohhh! I totally should've used that one!
Wtf! 😅
How baa dah
Ayyyyyyy
Will Carmack too funny
Well I did learn something today that I had no idea of THANKS VERY MUCH True food TV ⭐️ 🇳🇿
My 3-yr old son loves your "how it grows" series. Thank you! 😊
All that for a tiny cashew nut - those apples look so succulent - I didnt know that was where cashew nuts came from crazy - best video I've seen in ages , fascinating thank you
As someone who grew up in the Brazilian countryside, it actually took me years to eat a cashew nut, I was only acquainted with its apple. It smells deliciously sweet.
Ha, that's amazing!
Friend made the mistake of eating the fruit . Bad idea.
im one of the lucky ones who found this hidden treasure of youtube called how does it grows
Aw, thank you so much!
Great to see that you are highlighting the hard work and inherent risks behind the crop. Maybe you could put links in the description to the articles that pop up in future videos?
Great idea!
We grow cashews in Nicaragua; I remember growing up and eating the cashew pear and roasting the cashew. We make refreshments out of the fruit. Yummy! 😊
I remember when I was a kid, my grandmother always tells me not to grill cashew nuts near any animals coz they might get sick. Now I understand why! Tnx!
Wow, she knew her stuff!
we had a cashew tree in our back yard. the fruit has a strong flavor, but i like it. My grandma used to make juice out of it.
many of the fruits fall to the ground, so as a child i'd pick them up, get the cashews, get some sticks and start a fire, throw the cashews in, and when they were roasted, i cracked them open with some rocks.
Great memories!
Glad you're still here!
Wow, out of all the awesome information you so graciously give, that may be the single most interesting factoid to date! Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for your hard work bringing these content to the masses .🙏
When she smiles about the people being injured it shows the darkness of her soul
I thought she was trying to fly with all the waving of her arms.
Wow! I've never heard or a cashew apple? This is why I love this channel!!
So glad you enjoyed learning this stuff as much as I did!
I love UA-cam. You learn something new everyday ❤️
very educational. concise and informative. Thanks!
music / voice balance excellent - understood everything you said - ty and ty for posting : )
Thank you!
It's so funny to watch this because I've got a cashew tree in my yard. I remember as a child biting into the fruit and the juice leaking down my face and clothes. The juice leaves a nasty stain 😂
i love your channel and cashews. i blend them into a cashew cheese sauce and put on kale or broccoli and dehydrate them to make chips
Sounds amazing!
i love cashew apple, it's light and sweet almost like a pear. i ate them almost everyday when i was in thailand.
Great Video and info, thanks for posting. I wander if these can be pot grown in a Poly Tunnel. I think that would probably be the only way of getting them tastey cashew apples. I have never seen them on sale anywhere.
cashew apple are delicious, here in Brazil is named "caju" and cashew is named "castanha de caju".
I have one cashew plant in my backyard.
Wow! Do you harvest/eat the nuts or only the caju?
TRUE FOOD - How Does it Grow? In my plant, I only harvest and eat the caju, and waste the nut because is very hard extract the nut.Generally I buy the nut in a grocery shop.
My indian friend calls them "Caju" too !
In many local indian languages , it is known as 'caju'
Malaysian called it Gajus (the nut+apple).. But we here in East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia call it "Jambu Golok" 😊😁.. The nut portion we consumed as what displayed in video(cashew nut).. But for apple portion, usually we Malay cook it as vegetable side dishes.. Most popular one.. Sayur Masak Lemak Jambu Golok (Cocunut Milk Soupy).. Its delicous. 😀😁🤭
wow!!! I never know that!! learned something new today!! awesome, keep it coming!!
Thank you!
Wow! Very interesting. Amazing stuff!
I love all cashews, they are many kind of cashews in my village.
My friend's sometime taking the seed for making their bloody tattoo.
:-)
Very informative!
Wow really did not know about cashews except when travelling to Danang Vietnam we bought some kilo of roasted ones..Thanks for the.video, helps us to understand more of the fruits.
Here in Brazil we call it “cajú” and it tastes very good, there is even caipirinha made with cajú and its really nice!
here in america
i dont care
man
One of our Capuchin Franciscan friars, who was born in Vietnam, returned from a trip there and brought back cashews sold by Vietnamese nuns. I ate several of them while watching TV, and for the next three days I felt sick. I am sure that the nuts had traces of urushiol, the poison of poison ivy or poison oak. Nothing like having "poison oak" in your intestines.
Oh, goodness gracious! That sounds awful. I'm sorry you got so sick!
@@polarisedelectrons What a sweet reply!
You may be sick from something else
Cashews are my favorite! Wow! Poison? That's crazy!! I must admit,I love coming home from work and seeing a new video!! So Great!! Thank you!! :-)
Thank you for watching!
BTW... I've emailed all my friends your last video,and we are all now binge watching your past videos. So much fun :-)
Cashews are quite high in leptin!
As a child back in Panamá, we used to roasted them, we all brothers, cousins and friends gathered together and cooked them. The fruit was used to make drinks and also make marmalade. Thanks for the videos!!!
Please make longer videos like you used to!!!! I absolutely enjoy those - where you get into more details :)
Don't worry -- a longer How Does it Grow? video is coming soon! These "Quick Bites" go up in between while we're editing the big ones (they take a lot of work). Otherwise, you'd have to wait a few weeks to see a video from us. You wouldn't want that, would you? ;)
And yes the cashew fruit is like heaven on your lips. The alcohol even more so
😂
Imagine how many of these things it takes, when you only get 1 nut per apple...🤔
Easy math though. I need 100 cashews. Okay here is 100 apples. haha
Absolutely brilliant. I love these cashews, but never knew the process. amazing ;-)
Glad you enjoyed it!
I remembered picking these out from a tree at my aunts farm and eating the yellow cashew fruit. The sweet followed by light sourness of fruit still lingers in my mind. I wish to have these again before I died.
Now that you come back to life you have the opportunity to eat them when quite ripe & ready for eating...you will surely enjoy it
They also have to be washed properly before eating
I only use the fruit part not the seed.
Oh boy do i love your videos!
Oh boy, I love that you enjoy them!
Hopefully a way can be developed to utilize the fruit as well. Thank you for enlightening us.
Peace & Love ❤️
Hope i added a little general info on your added subject about the mango sap which the leaves excrete...practically every part of mango tree produces the sap except for the roots...sap that turns resin like...and it has that fragrance distinctive to the sweet mango fruit...
Fun Fact, back home(Philippines) when we roast the shell any chicken nearby that inhales the fume gets dizzy or dies. It was a mystery to me before
Dizzy and dying chickens. Any more "Fun Facts"....??????
@@jamierennie9099 Fun for me..lol
@@jamierennie9099 Yea , that how cashew chicken was invented.
Thanks for pointing out the dangers to cashew workers. I have tried to do this over the years to many people so they will value them as a food, but with little success. I love them myself but am always aware of the real cost and will not eat them mindlessly or process them into a dip when other things could easily be used. They really are a luxury food because of the difficulty in extracting them butpeople all want them at a cheaper price. They should be MORE expensive, not less and a far bigger amount should go to the workers. Basically because it is a dangerous occupation and difficult tiring work with a lot of health risks. There is a byproduct, the nasty gunky oil, which highly sought after for engineering purposes. Please eat them and enjoy them, but with awareness, and not out of not knowing how they get to you.
This video left our a critical point that I feel everyone was hoping for- how do I make the Cashew Fruit Liquor?
My school grows the cashew but we eat the apples. I am So glad that i found this channel. You have the best information
Thank you!
I'd love to try a cashew apple; they look delicious. When I first found out a while back that cashews were in the same family as poison ivy, I was surprised. Anacardiaceae, something like that; that might not be quite right I'd have to look it up.
Yes, you know mangos are too! Evidently some people are allergic to mango leaves. I wonder how that affects the harvesters.
Thomas McBride I actually gave away a cashew fruit today, I personally don't like the fruit. but the nuts are awesome
TRUE FOOD - How Does it Grow? it can blister some with more sensitive skin, but it doesnt bother me, its just a sticky mess. fun fact you can reduce the "milk" from the mango leaves to make a slight adhesives
Kevin Babbz Well I wouldn't know about the fruit but I love the nut; especially roasted with honey.
TRUE FOOD - How Does it Grow? I think I did read that once; they're all very different. Mango flowers are very pretty; I'm not familiar with cashew flowers.
Cashew apples are delicious! And so is its juice, one of my favorites. People should try it. :)
Your from Australia?
@@christianlloydcomia9138 I'm not
Hi, I'm brazilian. Been following you in a while. Another thing you can do with cashews is to blend, remove the juice (drink it or mix it with vodka) and the remains can be mixed with spicies and fried. It's a good alternative to meat.
Very true! I used to pick cashews when I was a child , but only for the apple fruit part we ate. The nut parts get thrown away and very carefully removing them, it can burn your skin.
God loves you guys unconditionally. Turn to Him before it’s too late. 🙏
Sounds like a threat
@@santbhindranwalejidefanche8767 No threat. Jesus will come back for his people. He wants none to perish. He loves you very much. All you need to do,is believe..
Maranatha!
Cult
GOD is angry with the wicked every day. HIS love for the sinner was displayed over 2000 yrs ago by sending His only begotten Son to die for them. As we speak, sinners are storing up wrath for the Day of Wrath. Anyone who dies outside of CHRIST will be cast into the Lake of Fire. Now is the day of salvation. Repent & Believe on CHRIST.
Once again you taught me something I didn't know and I know everything 😉
Good stuff👍🏽
;P
you learn something new every day..
Thank you so much! That was all new to me and amazing to hear. I will think twice about buying cashews from now on.
Back in the 70s my grandma just throw these into the fire , avoila we have sweet after meals . Rip grandma
Everytime we eat cashews, we need to think about the people who earn a dollar a day to get them for us.
It depends on where you are eating it.
we had a tree at home as a child so we ate alot of the fruit and enjoyed we also made cashew wine
I've had the cashew apple, it's very refreshing, crispy and lightly sweet. Got it in Thailand. Fruit is sold in Asia.
I am from Kerala, India. In my parents farm they had many cashew trees when I was young. Usually they ripe during Indian school summer holidays. We (brothers and friends) usually pluck tender cashew nuts (before the nut shell start to darken/harden). Using sharp knife and with a thick cloth as protection we cut the nut and take the tender nut from the shell. Believe me the tender nuts are more tastier than the ripe ones.
That sounds really delicious - what a treat!
Awww, your voice 😍😍😍
Love your channel. Loved that you didn't use green screens. Loose the green screen! Keep up the great work!
Brings memories of my grandma. She used to roast these. This wad when I was little, in El Salvador.
I'm from Mozambique and my grandma has like a bunch cashew trees in her home and they literally do the roasting and removing of shells to send to us. I never need to buy cashews it's dope
My friend and i love to eat cashew apples and cook the cashew separate when we were young, we live in indonesia btw
One day I'd love to try a cashew apple!
Are cashews related to the wax apple or rose apple trees at all, or do they just happen to look similar?
Ok, checked it and they are totally unrelated...
My dad used to build machines & supply to cashew factories. There is a lot process to be undertaken to get the final product. There are byproducts as well during the process.
Good to watch videos. Keep up the good work
Love from Mangalore,India.
Awesome video. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
Wow!!! Another astonishing information thanks TRUE FOOD😊😊😊😊😊😊btw is Mangoes belongs to this family??? I just heard it😊😊😊
Yes, they are! And mango leaves can irritate some people's skin -- makes sense, right?
The latex from mango actually can burn your skin... I know that because I've experienced it 😊😊😊😊😊 we supposed to have a lot of mango tree 😊😊😊😊
Such a succinct and informative video - I was particularly shocked by the difficult and dangerous working conditions in India, thanks for taking the time to mention that! Is there any particular company we should contact to demand better treatment/conditions? Are there best practices? More ethical options? Any way to buy the apples?
Excellent questions! I don't know of any companies specifically. Here in the States, we have a Fair Trade label, which is probably a better bet for ethical sourcing.
The Caju apples are feed to cattle or juice concentrate, they are not wasted. The caju nut creates a lot of rural jobs, specially for poor women. The oil is used for many industrial applications so this video is misleading
@@AndresVargas5816 I am guessing it's more that you don't actually understand what good working conditions are so you are fine with the bad ones that are normal.
Great clip. I love cashews. Very informative!
This is so true. As a Brazilian I Love cashew fruit juice. I grew up with it. It’s a very sweet, mild flavor, similar to a pear. In Brazil we call it “Caju”. I don’t ever remember eating the nut either, to me cashew is the fruit/apple.
Wow. I love cashews and I never knew these things.
second, loved the new editing
Thank you!
I love cashews. Thank you for an informative video!
yes. we used to suck in all the juices from the cashew apple and it's refreshing more if it's chilled.
Yay, Iam first to comment.
Once again u have taught me something new, thanks.
God bless.
Thank you, Donna!!
Donna DeQuire-Rios I thought I was first but I guess not :D
I grew up in Viet Nam eating the fruits and discarding the seeds, now I wonder how much I've made just by saving them. haha
Ha! I wonder!
Here in Puerto Rico the apple is called "pajuil" and is very sweet and good!
Interesting info and a great video!
Who's the first person who figured out you can eat stuff like this?
I know, right? I often think about that.
Usually primates. When animals eat , we can be 100% certain that they are not poisonous.
We eat those cashew apples. It's very high in vitamin C
I'll make sure to eat one this October,tasted some years ago.all I remember was the gummy(wildfruity) after effect
They were hard to find,so they aren't exactly wasted
C-C-C-CASHEWS CASHEWS COME FROM A FRUIT!
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
