It consists of a vibrant, fleshy \"apple\" and an exterior nut encased in a hard gray shell.

Because it is a highly succulent fruit, it has a soft, fibrous, and incredibly juicy body that releases a flood of liquid upon the first bite. It leaves a sharp, slightly puckering (tannic) sensation on the palate that is immediately followed by a refreshing, honeyed sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eTypical Use\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eIt is most frequently used as a base for cooling drinks or as a fresh, hand-held snack. In Caribbean households, the bright red or yellow apples are often squeezed by hand to extract a cloudy, potent juice, while the nuts are carefully roasted over an open fire to remove their caustic shells. Because of its intense aroma, the fruit is also a favorite for \"setting\" in water or wine to create a fragrant, fermented beverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eCultural Use \u0026amp; Recipes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003eVitality Restorative:\u003c\/b\u003e Culturally, the cashew apple is used as a natural tonic to boost energy and provide a quick \"lift\" to the immune system.
