Cashews grow outside of a fruit called a cashew apple. The 'nut' we eat is actually the seed found at the bottom of the cashew apple.

Cooking Tips

When simmering sauces or soups, use a lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape. This helps to thicken the sauce or concentrate the flavors without excessive evaporation.

Ingredient Spotlight

Chili peppers are fiery fruits that come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and heat levels. They add heat, depth, and complexity to dishes. From mild varieties like bell peppers to spicy ones like habaneros, chili peppers are used in salsas, sauces, and spice blends.

Foraging Facts

Foraging can be a great way to connect with nature and engage in mindful activities. Take the time to observe your surroundings, appreciate the beauty of the natural world, and learn about the ecosystems in which these wild foods thrive.
