" Although (cashew is) a nut in the culinary sense, in the botanical sense the nut of the cashew is a seed." The real fruit (of the the tree) or what we call nut is attached to the end of the edible pulp part that "appears to be the fruit is an oval or pear-shaped structure".

Yes. The tropical tree bears a soft fruit which has an exposed seed encased in a shell at the end. That seed is the nut.

What type of soil do cashew trees prefer?

Sterilized soil as a seed and sandy soil as a transplant are the soils in which cashew trees grow.Specifically, a cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) can be grown as grafted trees or from seeds. It is important for a seed to be planted in sterilized soil to guard against competition from unfriendly microbes and weeds. The growing and mature cashew tree is intolerant of waterlogged soils. It therefore prefers sandy soil for good drainage. It will appreciate gentle inputs of nitrogen, phosphorus and zinc since it particularly is reactive to deficiencies in these three soil nutrients.

Do cashew nuts cause gas?

Although the cashew is thought to be a nut, it is actually the seed of a cashew apple. It is fiberous in composition, which tends to produce the characteristic full feeling and sometimes bloated sensation when consumed. Some people are bothered more than others by food products that are high in fiber and most seeds and nuts are somewhat of a challenge for the GI tract to digest.
