Cashews are grown primarily in the wet and dry tropics. They are mainly grown in Brazil, Vietnam, India, Africa, and South East Asia. Cashew nuts grow on trees as part of the cashew fruit. It should be noted that cashews require special care to prepare for eating. The outermost shell of the cashew is full of a caustic liquid that cause severe burns if placed in direct contact with the skin. There are multiple ways to extract the tasty nut without getting the juice on you. Cashews can be frozen and then separated from the shell with gloves. They can also be roasted on oil to separate the nut from the shell. Cashews are used in a variety of ways, due to their utility as an antioxidant. They are also rich in magnesium, which helps with joint flexibility. Cashews are commonly used as an accent in Chinese dishes (such as cashew chicken and stir-fry), chicken salad, and an addition to a chocolatey dessert.
