Everyone must have eaten cashews, and when you eat cashews, do you think about how cashews grow?
Cashew nuts are native to Brazil. The height of the tree and the diameter of the crown can reach about 10 meters. The red part of the cashew nut fruit is like a pear, the fruit of the cashew tree. Hanging underneath is the cashew nuts we usually eat. Isn't it interesting that the seeds grow outside the fruit?
Cashew nuts are the fruit of the cashew tree. The fruit of the cashew tree is divided into two parts, nuts and pears, also known as true fruits and false fruits.
The kernels in the real fruit are actually the cashew nuts we often eat, growing on the top of the fake fruit. The kernel generally has a hard shell on the outside, and the kernel is blue-gray, because it looks like a chicken kidney, so it is also called chicken cashew.
The false fruit is a fleshy fruit formed by the flower tray, which looks a bit like a pear, and is oval or flat in shape, so it is called a fruit pear. This fruit is bright red or orange-yellow in color after ripening, and has a sufficient moisture content, which is one of the fruits that cool down and relieve heat in the tropics.
