Cashew. Keep them away from my sight or I'll eat them all.

Go to Fortaleza, Brazil.

They sell cashew EVERYWHERE. Stands by the beach will have giant sacks filled with cashews. Restaurants have cashew juice. Supermarkets have cashew jam, candy, concentrate, cakes, baked goods, Sodas... All dirt cheap.

After that trip, I think I had my fill of cashews. Now I barely eat it.

10/10 trip.

That trip would be the end of me! But probably worth it.

[-] Tore@piefed.world 3 points 1 month ago

It absolutely is worth it!

Have a whole day dedicated to cashews. Have some cashew juice with toast and cashew jam for breakfast, then go to the cashew museum in Fortaleza, eat the fruit, the nut, have some cashew liquor, ice cream, cashew nut bread...

That's how I realised I had my fill. I came back home several pounds heavier but I was worth it.

Cashew juice? My brain can't process how it might taste.

If you aren't familiar with how cashews grow, it'll blow your mind. They look like this


That top part is called the cashew apple. It's edible and apparently tastes pretty good. It doesn't ship very well so people outside the area where they grow don't usually experience them. I'm guessing the juice comes from that.

That is correct. From what I remember, the fruit is very astringent and has a very small window of being ripe and sweet to eat before it goes sour, which limits transportation and export. But you might find juice concentrate in your local Latin American shop.

they likely grow it commercially there.

[-] Tore@piefed.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yep, they do. The state of Ceará (where Fortaleza is in) is the major Brazilian cashew producer. It's a beloved fruit that has much more to offer than the nut itself.
