Yellow cashew fruit

This link states “The cashew nut is defined botanically as the fruit.”

They also write …

 

“Cashew fruit is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. It has up to five times more vitamin C than oranges and contains a high amount of mineral salts.”

 

The tree and the fruit seem to have many medicinal uses from being an aphrodisiac (the juice) to treating syphilis. A one-stop solution.

 

Nice photos of the tree in this link with closeup of the fruit on the stem and flowers.
