Samuel Johnson's Dictionary

  1. Cashewnutnoun

    A tree.

    The cup of the flower, which is produced at the extremity of a footstalk, is oblong and quinquefid; the flower consists of one leaf, which is divided into five long narrow segments; in the bottom of the calyx is the ovary, which becomes a soft pear-shaped fruit; upon the apex of which grows a vessel, in which is contained one kidney-shaped seed. This tree is very common in Jamaica and Barbadoes, where it grows very large, but in England will rarely stand through our winters. The inhabitants of the West Indies plant them from branches taken from the old trees; which, with them, take root very well, and in two years time produce fruits. Philip Miller.

  1. cashewnut

    The cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) is a tropical evergreen tree native to South America in the genus Anacardium that produces the cashew seed and the cashew apple accessory fruit. The tree can grow as tall as 14 metres (46 feet), but the dwarf cultivars, growing up to 6 m (20 ft), prove more profitable, with earlier maturity and greater yields. The cashew seed is commonly considered a snack nut (cashew nut) eaten on its own, used in recipes, or processed into cashew cheese or cashew butter. Like the tree, the nut is often simply called a cashew. Cashew allergies are triggered by the proteins found in tree nuts, and cooking often does not remove or change these proteins.In 2019, four million tonnes of cashew nuts were produced globally, with Ivory Coast and India as the leading producers. As well as the nut and fruit, the plant has several other uses. The shell of the cashew seed yields derivatives that can be used in many applications including lubricants, waterproofing, paints, and, starting in World War II, arms production. The cashew apple is a light reddish to yellow fruit, whose pulp and juice can be processed into a sweet, astringent fruit drink or fermented and distilled into liquor.
