The word cashew refers to a tree, its fruit, and the popular, edible nut it produces. The nut comes from the bottom of the cashew apple, which is the name of the tree's fruit. The apple is a delicacy in Brazil, where the fruit originated, but it is not eaten in large quantities in many other places. Cashews are now consumed heavily world-wide, but they are especially popular in Asian cooking, where they are a common ingredient in Thai cuisine.
