Bet this one got your attention! Cashews are the most popular nut in the world even though, botanically speaking of course, they are actually a fruit of the cashew tree. The leaves, bark, and nuts are used medicinally. Cashews must be boiled or roasted in order to remove a toxic residue. This nut is a popular aphrodisiac in Brazil where it’s said that it stimulates the libido. Although this nut is also popular in North America, it’s not imported fresh as it quickly becomes rancid.
