cashew
ma moung him ma pan
nuts
Cashew is an interesting fruit. The seed hangs at the end tip of the fruit. It is called 'ma moung him ma pan' in Thai which means heavenly mango. I substitute cashew for peanuts when the recipe calls for peanuts because of my fear of a carcinogenic mold in peanuts. This mold grows in warm climate, like Thailand. I would suggest if you go to Thailand, avoid peanuts -- in Thailand I usually ask the cook not to put peanuts in or, if it's too late, scoop them out.
