Original artwork description:
The official name of the cashew apple is anacardium, due to its heart-like oval or pear shape. When it ripens, it takes on a yellowish or red color and grows to roughly 2 to 4 inches (5 to 11 centimeters). It is also called the maranon in some regions.
Since they are not traditional fruits that serve as coverings for seeds, cashew apples are viewed as a pseudofruit, or accessory fruit. They grow from flowers on the cashew tree. The actual fruit grows as an extension, called a drupe, from the cashew apple, and it is this extension that contains the cashew nut.
Due to their sweet taste and smell, cashew apples are a popular food item as well. The pulp and juice have a tropical citrus-like flavor and contain high amounts of vitamin C.
