Before fifteenth century, cashew trees were used to stop sea erosions in the coastal regions in many countries. During those periods, people were not aware of the value and nutritional potential of cashew or even its nut shell oil. People used to consume only the cashew fruit and throw away the nuts. It was only during the latter part of sixteenth century usefulness of nuts were discovered.
The cashew tree, native to Brazil, was introduced to Mozambique and then India in the sixteenth century by the Portuguese, as a means of controlling coastal erosion. It was spread within these countries with the aid of elephants that ate the bright cashew fruit along with the attached nut. The nut was too hard to digest and was later expelled with the droppings. It was not until the nineteenth century that plantations were developed and the tree then spread to a number of other countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
