Nuts!

Do you know where cashews come from? Before Saturday I had no idea. I figured they grew on a bush or something.

Not so! Meet the marañón fruit. It grows on big trees and has a little seed on the bottom.

Marañón fruit tastes great cut up. It's sweet and has the consistency of jellyfish.

On the tree.

One that fell and exploded. The bottom seed has a cashew in it!

Roasting the seeds from marañón we found on the ground. The coals are from the fire Orbelina made in the oven.

Boom! Roasted.

Crack em open with a rock.

Dig out the nut inside. 

Cup 'o cashews!

YUM!

Just another great experience I wouldn't get from freezing in Illinois ;)
