This is the poison nut (cashew). You can’t eat when it is still hot. the flesh on on outside is poisonous and can burn your skin, so we use gloves to find the nut inside. Then we bury it under the sand, when the fire gets smaller we put the coals over the sand where the nut is buried and it slowly roasted. Then we eat it.
