Cashews come from a tree. They are found inside the stem of a fruit that grows on the tree, called a cashew apple or, in Portuguese, a cajú . The fruit makes a delicious juice, but the cashew nut is the main commodity. The stem where the cashew nut comes from contains an acid-like oil that must be burned out of the stem, which roasts the nut inside, before the nut can be eaten. This is a very labor-intensive process which explains why cashew nuts are so expensive.
Cashew nuts are not exactly nuts, they are rather fruits of the cashew tree. These fruits look like apples, and the formation that grows at the end of them is what actually become the cashew nut, after a long process of roasting. The cashew tree originally grows in tropical climates such as Brazil, the tree is now widely grown in tropical regions, Vietnam and Nigeria, India, the Ivory Coast and Indonesia.
A cashew tree produces a single seed per fruit, known as the cashew nut. The cashew apple, which is the fleshy part of the fruit, can contain one seed at its base. Therefore, each cashew fruit contains just one seed.

In Tamil, the cashew nut is called "முந்திரி" (mundhiri). It refers to both the nut itself and the cashew tree, which is known for its distinctive shape and fruit. The cashew is popular in Tamil cuisine and is often used in various dishes, snacks, and desserts.
A cashew is technically classified as a seed, but it is commonly referred to as a nut in culinary contexts. It comes from the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) and is the seed of the cashew apple. While it shares characteristics with both nuts and beans, its classification as a seed is the most accurate.
We eat the seed of the cashew tree, which is commonly referred to as the cashew nut. This seed is attached to the bottom of the cashew apple, a fleshy fruit that is also edible but less commonly consumed in many regions. The cashew nut is typically roasted to enhance its flavor and is popular in various culinary dishes and snacks.
