Anacardium--Cashew Tree


Took this photo at Anitha's house in Douroum. These are Cashew fruit, Anacardium occidentale, which are so pretty, so brightly colored. They're usually bright yellow, red or orange. Don't eat the seeds because they're poisonous (unless you cook them just right, when they're delicious cashew nuts), but the fruit is very good too. It's Anacardium season right now. The first time I ate them was last year around this time, and the ones from Anitha's tree were my first ones of the season this year.
