You must have saw cashew nuts even if you haven’t eaten them. But have you ever seen a real cashew tree?

The cashew nut we saw on the market is actually not the true fruit of the cashew tree, but the pseudocarp. As shown in the following picture, the red fruit is the true fruit called the cashew apple which can make into butter, but their feature of high perishableness thwarts any attempt to bring them to a global market. And the black fruit in the picture is the cashew nut we often see. Which contains a high nutritional value.

Currently, cashew shelling machines, cashew peeling machines, and other equipment are often used in the market to process cashew nuts.
