the picture showing cashew nuts being inspected after harvest are not cashew nuts but cocoa beans that are dried after fermentation. Somebody may remove that picture I have no idea how to.— Precedingunsigned comment added by193.190.253.150 (talk)18:50, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We are claiming the apple is poisonous, yet people obviously eat the apple, and turn it into everything from desserts to booze. Like the seed, it may require processing, but the source that is saying it is poisonous is unreliable and is oversimplifying it. I'm liable to remove this line completely, if someone doesn't come up with a better paragraph to replace it.
https://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/cashew_apple.html is a source saying it isn't poisonous, per se.Dennis Brown -2¢21:30, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I believe it is the nut that is poisonous before processing, particularly boiling I believe— Precedingunsigned comment added by97.122.178.74 (talk)03:16, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article contains ..."but cashews are a less frequent allergen than tree nuts or peanuts.[6]". Reference goes to the paywalledhttp://pt.wkhealth.com. This seems to go against the opening sentence "The cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) is a tropical evergreen tree that produces the cashew nut". Every source I can find claims that the cashew comes from a tree and every reference I can find on "Tree Nut" includes the Cashew. What should be done with a reference that cannot be read that seems to disagree with all other evidence? Maybe the article does not actually say that cashew is not a tree nut, I have no way to check it.Mtpaley (talk)21:57, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am new to English Wikipedia and do not know exactly how things work over here in the English-speaking part of this project. I would like to know why my edits to this article keep being reverted.This one specifically. I sourced my claims and only added info that was related to info already in the article. How is it encyclopedic to say that "In Mozambique,bolo polana is a cake prepared using powdered cashews and mashed potatoes as the main ingredients" but unencyclopedic to say that "In Brazil ... The fruit is usedin natura or in the production of sweets, juice, alcoholic beverages such ascachaça and as a source of protein"? Is the Mozambique information also unencyclopedic? Is it the quality of the source? The level of detail?
Also, how is it important to say that one tree holds the title of the largest cashew tree in the world, but not important to say that another tree might be, in fact, the largest? Is it the level of detail? Had I mentioned the the tree in Piauí is 7,800 m² large, would it be accepted?
I'd really like to undestand what are the criteria before I decide to contribute to Wikipedia in this language or not.Mateussf (talk)21:26, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also, "Brazilians prefer the fruit to the nut" is an incorrect statement which is not supported by the source given. The source mentions it in economical terms, using the verb "value". The sentence makes it seem as if it were individual preferences, in the term of taste. Am I not allowed to fix something that is wrong?Mateussf (talk)21:29, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Wiki community! I work with a company called Karma Nuts - they sell 11 different flavors of cashews in two difference size packages. They have launched something called the Wrapped® cashew, which retains it's natural skins so it is very unique. Karma Nuts is part of a large family-owned company that has been based out of Western India for more than 85 years.
Because I am affiliated with the company I would like to keep the community objective - could someone please help me with the article? Thank you!— Precedingunsigned comment added byKarmanutsCA (talk •contribs)22:04, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is known in botany that Cashew is native to northeast Brazil, specifically the coastal area. ( The name Caju, Acaju, comes from the Tupi language which is almost exclusively used by natives from the Brazilian area).
The article mentions Central America, the Caribbean, and northern South America, including northeastern Brazil, which except for Brazil, were places where saplings were taken after Brazil's Portuguese colonization.
The references in this article are not very trustworthy, but even one of them confirm this:
https://hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/cashew_apple.html
"The cashew is native to and northeast Brazil and, in the 16th Century, Portuguese traders introduced it to Mozambique and coastal India, but only as a soil retainer to stop erosion on the coasts"

Some discussion should be made of abusive labor practices in the shelling of cashews. Please seethis article. Here'sanother article from Human Rights Watch. I don't know if this is current information or not. I'm sure there is someone that has access to recent information on this scandal, which should, in my opinion, be part of the story of cashews.Lenehey (talk)22:45, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In Malaysia, the soft young leaves whose veins are still red are eaten as a snack and in ulam (a type of salad) with sambal belacan (shrimp paste with chili). They are really delicious and not like anything else. This article needs to mention human consumption of the young leaves, but a source needs to be cited. I may look for one at some point.Ikan Kekek (talk)02:45, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
