Kaju

Kaju, or the cashew nut, is the kidney-shaped edible seed of the cashew tree, native to Brazil, that grows attached to a fleshy, pear-shaped fruit called the cashew apple. The cashew nut is enclosed in a double-walled, hard shell containing a poisonous liquid, and it is the kernel inside this shell that is consumed. Cashews are valued for their sweet, buttery flavor, soft texture, and nutritional content, serving as a good source of protein, minerals like copper and magnesium, and heart-healthy fats.
