Belize Cashew and Fruit

It was fascinating to learn how cashews grow while living in Belize, since we had the trees growing in our backyard. The nut that we eat is actually the seed, and it grows on the fruit, or apple.  There is one seed/nut per fruit.  They grow from a tree, and are harvested one at a time.
