Cashew Normally we see seed inside a fruit, but in a cashew fruit, its seed is an outside entity attached to it. Four centuries ago, when the Portuguese landed on the Indian soil, they brought with them the priceless tree nut - "Cashew". Cashew came, conquered and took deep roots in the entire coastal region of India. Cashew found the Indian soil more congenial for its growth than its homeland. It later gained popularity as a cash crop in many parts of India as well. Cashews Specification NUTRITIVE VALUE OF CASHEW KERNELS Sr No. Requirements for daily diet of a normal adult.
