We can eat the fruit and they are delicious when they are so ripe that they fall on the ground not able to hold on to the tree, because of all the juice inside of them. We can either suck them or bite on the fibrous meat, or cut them, but only when it has been refrigerated. Otherwise, there would be fruit juice all over the place. It is like a big nipple bursting with milk.

The cashew nut is on top of the fruit and before they can be eaten, they have to be "burned" so that the outer shell falls off. Then the nut can be eaten either raw or roasted.

The fruit tree has a delicious perfume of the ripe fruit. But the ants are also fierce when we stay around "their" territory too long.

Loved that you caught the dolphin so well! Can you eat "raw" cashews? If so what do they taste like? -- As you said they were "ripe". I remember cashew trees in India but all the cashews seemed to be roasted.
