A taste of Cajú

This afternoon,Chef of Brazil treated us with cajú juice.

At the beginning,
by seeing the color of the juice,
I though he has made the iced lemon juice,
it was not sour nor very sweet,
the color was in yellow,
the drink was very fresh and delighted and all of us liked it very much,
he kept on explaining to us that we could add sugar if we wanted to be sweeter,
but I think it was pretty good,
not too sweet.

It should be my first time to try this kind of fruit juice -
a flavour of Brazil,
being far away from that country;
besides, in Macau,
we can not find this fruit at all.

Was very curious of this fruit,
and asked for the name,
Chef of Guinea and Chef of Goa explained to me that the nuts are called cashew nuts.
and in their home countries,
they also use Cajú to make wine,
I was really lost,
how come the fruit of cashew tree can be so different.
Back home,
checked with Internet,
it is really the cashew fruit juice,
flavours of Brazil,
so nice!

Cajú is a crimson and gold fruit found in the Northeast of Brazil.

The fruit has the cashew nut attached to the base.
