You learn something new every day...


I actually learned this a while back - and thanks to a recent conversation with a friend - it came up once again.  But, did you know that the tiny little nut we call the cashew actually comes from a pseudo fruit commonly called a cashew apple.  Apparently you can eat the apple and some had said that it resembles the taste of pineapple - with a funny bitter, burning aftertaste.  Um... no thank you.  But that does explain why the little guy is so much more expensive than his little cousin Mr. peanut.
