The cashew tree (<i>Anacardium occidentale</i>) is a tropical evergreen tree that produces the cashew seed and the cashew apple.<br/><br/> It can grow as high as 14 metres (46 ft), but the dwarf cashew, growing up to 6 metres (20 ft), has proved more profitable, with earlier maturity and higher yields.<br/><br/> The cashew seed is served as a snack or used in recipes, like nuts. The cashew apple is a light reddish to yellow fruit, whose pulp can be processed into a sweet, astringent fruit drink or distilled into liquor.<br/><br/> The shell of the cashew seed yields derivatives that can be used in many applications from lubricants to paints, and other parts of the tree have traditionally been used for snake-bites and other folk remedies.<br/><br/> Originally native to northeastern Brazil, the tree is now widely cultivated in Vietnam, Nigeria and India as major production countries.

Watermelon (<i>Citrullus lanatus</i> (Thunb.), family Cucurbitaceae) is thought to have originated in southern Africa, where it is found growing wild. It reaches maximum genetic diversity there, with sweet, bland and bitter forms.<br/><br/> Evidence of its cultivation in the Nile Valley was found from the second millennium BCE. Watermelon seeds have been found at Twelfth Dynasty sites and in the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Watermelon is also mentioned in the Bible as a food eaten by the ancient Israelites while they were in bondage in Egypt.<br/><br/> By the 10th century, watermelons were being cultivated in China, which is today the world's single largest watermelon producer. By the 13th century, Moorish invaders had introduced the fruit to Europe.
