Cashews Anacardium occidentale (Same botanical family than the Mango)
The largest edible part of a cashew nut is actually not the nut at all, but the pear-sized fruit above the nut. A cashew nut is not a nut inside a round or even oval shell; a cashew nut is a protrusion outside at the bottom end of a soft tropical fruit! This soft red or yellow fruit is called a cashew apple.
As a further irony, the nut grows first, and only when the nut is practically full size does the fruit begin to grow. But eventually the fruit is about 800% larger than the nut. Here in Guatemala or any tropical country you can see and experience this visual treat...
If anyone has to be worried about North Korea and USA not getting along it has to be we "Mexicans" for we are a bit close to USA just in case those intercontinental missiles do not complete their distance which must probably they can not.

What I found marvelous is the creativity of the design of the elements/components of this mostly salty-water planet, what are we (humans) missing?
