NATIONAL DAY

In the case of the cashew, someone, somewhere, decided that it had to be roasted. It was once known as the blister nut, if you try to eat it from the tree your mouth will pay the price. Oddly, the cashew is not, in fact, a nut, but a seed.Kate ChristensenWe dont much care what you call it, the cashew is one of natures true delights. It needs a little care to be able to achieve its greatest properties, like all good things, but when you finish harvesting and roasting it there are few things in life as delightful as a cashew nut. National Cashew Day encourages you to go out and enjoy this delicious seed in any of its myriad of forms.
