We found our first Cashew fruit! Native to Brazil, the tree was brought to India in the 1500’s and spread throughout Southeast Asia, Africa, as well as Central America. It is now common around Belize and is used for a variety of purposes from food to medicinal. It’s also the only fruit with its seed placed on the outside of the fruit, strange right? Our campus is home to many different types of fruit trees; from limes, grapefruits, to mangos. The Cashew however is just coming into its fruiting season, and this first one was just so exciting we had to let everyone know!
