The process for preparing cashew nuts is so tedious I don't even bother. But I do like to eat the cashew apples, although they're not to everyone's taste. I have both red and yellow varieties which produce a lot of fruit (for which the many millions of local flying foxes are very appreciative, especially before they'ved properly ripened). They spread the seed/nuts around so they're coming up everywhere. The cashew is considered an environmental weed here.

These are the young nuts before the peduncles (Cashew apples) have fully swollen.
