Aren't the tops edible too? I wonder how the little shriveled bean thing on the end became internationally popular but the juicy looking fruit on top isn't. Like, every cashew harvested has to have the fruity part too, what do they all get used for?
Maybe they are not as fit for exporting or selling so the more profitable parts get sent to US instead?
