The Little Princess


When I was in Taytay, Palawan last March, I got a chance to touch and eat the cashew fruit. That was my first time to appreciate such inverted fruit. I thought, only the nuts were edible but I was wrong.



My friends in Taytay Palawan served the stuff for me.




They were so enthusiastic to let me take a bite since it's my first time. It was so delicious indeed.



 Now, I have added cashew fruit not only the nuts to my favorite fruits list.  Do I need to come back in Palawan and satisfy my craving? Hmmm, I want to and make revenge.


Just like how we eat some tropical fruit, we sprinkle it with condiments such as salt and vinegar. If you want some spicy, you can make the way you want to relish it.

According from Wikipedia , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashew. The cashew is a tree in the family Anacardiaceae. Its English name derives from the Portuguese name for the fruit of the cashew tree, caju, which in turn derives from the indigenous Tupi name, acajú. It is now widely grown in tropical climates for its cashew nuts (see below) and cashew apples.

Cashew trees are mushrooming in this place
This is a sample of rotten cashew fruit but the nuts is still useful
Cashew nuts are the main crops in Palawan particularly in Roxas and Taytay. Almost in the whole island, cashew trees are just everywhere. So, if you love to eat this nuts, Palawan is the place where you can find it at  affordable price.

But above all, I wanna say thank you to the following people: Ms. Jane Trinidad, Zeny, Jed, Grace, Tats and Marlon for making my stay memorable.
