What region are cashews grown?!


Question:

What region are cashews grown?


Answers:
The cashew grows wild in Brazil and in cashew plantations in India where the cashew was transplanted into a cashew crop.
The first western people sighting the cashew tree was by the Portuguese. They invaded Brazil in the 1500's. Portuguese seamen brought the seeds of the cashew nut tree from Brazil to be planted by the early settlers along the east coast of Africa. The trees took root and thrived. It was not long before cashew trees were growing wild along the entire coast of Mozambique. They spread to Kenya and Tanzania.
