The cashew tree 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 meters, but the dwarf cultivars, growing up to 6 m, 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 cashew.

Cashew Kernel (or: raw cashew kernels, cashew kernels, cashew kernal) is the name of the raw cashew nuts after going through the processing of cashew nuts. After peeling hard and corrosive shell outside, the cashew kernel is revealed.

Cashew kernels are usually not eaten raw but cooked or roasted. Used in desserts and also some curries, the roasted kernels are usually eaten as a snack.
