National Cashew Day is celebrated every year on November 23, a day dedicated to appreciating the unique qualities of cashews and their global culinary significance. Although commonly referred to as nuts, cashews are actually seeds that originate from the cashew apple of the tropical cashew tree, first grown in Brazil before spreading across India, Southeast Asia, and Africa. The day encourages people to explore various ways to enjoy cashews—whether roasted, blended into milk or butter, tossed into salads, or used in desserts. It also highlights their health benefits, including rich mineral content, antioxidants, and heart-healthy fats.
