Recipe Introduction

Whether you like them plain, salted, roasted, or covered in sugar, cashews are certainly a delicious treat! Though cashews are popular in Thai, Indian, and Chinese cuisines, they are actually native to Brazil. They are also widely cultivated in India and Africa since the Portuguese brought them there during the 16th century. Did you know that parts of the cashew tree can be used for medicinal and manufacturing purposes? Acid from the cashew nutshells is effective in healing tooth abscesses and the tree's seeds can be ground up into a powder used as an anti-venom for snake bites. The oil from the nutshells is also used in brake linings as well as in rubber and plastic materials. To celebrate National Cashew Day, snack on some cashews or cook them into your favorite recipes!
