Benefits Of Cashews And Almonds

Introduction
  • The cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) is a
    tropical evergreen tree that produces the cashew
    nut and the cashew apple.
  • It can grow as high as 14 m (46 ft), but the
    dwarf cashew, growing up to 6 m (20 ft), has
    proved more profitable, with earlier maturity and
    higher yields.
  • The almond (Prunus dulcis, syn. Prunus amygdalus)
    is a species of tree native to the Middle East,
    the Indian subcontinent and North Africa.

  • The species is originally native to northeastern
    Brazil.
  • Portuguese colonists in Brazil began exporting
    cashew nuts as early as the 1550s.
  • Major production of cashews occurs in Vietnam,
    Nigeria, India, and Ivory Coast.
  • "Almond" is also the name of the edible and
    widely cultivated seed of this tree. Within the
    genus Prunus, it is classified with the peach in
    the subgenus Amygdalus, distinguished from the
    other subgenera by corrugations on the shell
    (endocarp) surrounding the seed.
  • The fruit of the almond is a drupe, consisting of
    an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed,
    which is not a true nut, inside.
  • Shelling almonds refers to removing the shell to
    reveal the seed.
