Word of the day: jocote marañon


Have you ever wondered where cashews come from? This meaty tart fruit holds its seed on the outside. Unique in that respect. To get the cashew out you must toast the grey seed pod and to retrieve the nut from the inside.

The fruit is good for juice but not so tasty on its own.

[ Pat's note: the best example of tart-but-not-sour that I've ever come across. We'll try to smuggle one back for David ]
