Cashew Is More Than A Nut Poem by Kim Barney

I did not know this, so I thank you and also for your beautiful picture. Juice also, how interesting.

wonderful. rhymed and enjoyable but significant to realize. Thanks dear poet.

Part 5. The kernels are separated from the shell by splitting it open with knife and used in "curries".

The shelled kernels can be consumed raw or fried again and salted for consumption.

Part 3. While the fruit is edible raw, as juice and as feni, the nut has to be shelled. The shell of the nut contains highly toxic and inflammable oil, which can burn the skin. So it is fried to remove the oil, before shelling.

Part 2. Lovely poem. Rhythm and rhyme are exquisite.

Hi Kim, I thought that you wrote the poem in Goa. But, then the most important item was missing: "FENI" the official drink of Goa😃. Prepared from the cashew fruit. Please do go over to Goa and taste it. I fear you won't go back home.
