Was it for the whole cashew or only the nuts?Even for the nuts it doesn't sound that cheap for here
I don't generally buy cashews but my guess is that it probably costs U$1.50 per each kilo(to the final consumer,and the whole fruit)

theyre about 10-15 bucks a pound 1/2 kilo unless you buy broken non no.1 product like anything else you pay for what you get

Since we are on the subject of cashews... we had them in Jamaica too and when i was in school we would get them off the tree and roast the fruit and the nut in kerosene, not good for ya but they were great none the less. A favorite trick would be to give the cashew fruit to new kids to bite into, it has some kind of really nasty poison inside and as soon as you bite into it, your mouth goes completely dry and has a horrible taste not an experience you will likely forget. LOL boarding school was so much fun.......

Cashew juice is common here,I wonder how they make it from the fruit.

 

[thejunkmonger]

the fruit is fine the yucky part is the fruity shell around the nut
