Cashew nuts

 

Do you like cashew nuts? They come in jars and packages. This is what they look like on the tree. They hang down from this bright red fruit. If you click on the picture, it will get big and you can see better. Elder Langford got one and began to peel the shell open when he was warned that the juice would irritate his skin. Later, Michael, our guide, peeled one with gloves on and then we tasted it. It was a cashew all right. It needed to be roasted and salted, but it was cashew. We felt guilty eating them by the handful at home, when there is one little cashew nut on every fruit.
