📍 WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
Born in the lush coastal regions of Brazil (shoutout to our Amazonian roots! 🌴), the cashew tree spread its magic across India, Vietnam, Nigeria, and beyond. For centuries, indigenous communities treasured the whole fruit not just the nut. But somewhere along the way, the world got obsessed with the kidney-shaped nut and completely ghosted the juicy, vibrant fruit! 😤
