It is Marañon (Cashew) Season in Panama.

 # I Admit that before I lived in Panama I had no Idea Cashews came from this fruit. # There is a juice that the locals swear by that is made with just the fruit. Marañon is high in anti-oxidants and vitamin C. It is also used as a laxative. I have not personally tried the juice but I would love to. As you can see from the image below someone figured out how to spice up cocktails using the fruit. http://vallartanayaritblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/caju-amigo.jpg *[Source](http://vallartanayaritblog.com/es/cosas-que-hacer/las-mejores-bebidas-para-disfrutar-los-partidos-de-la-copa-del-mundo/)*  *[Source](http://www.tierrafertil.com.mx/rentable-produccion-de-maranon/)* ## The Cashew Roasting Process. ## Currently in Panama you can find freshly roasted cashews being sold by street vendors. Cashews are one of my favorite treats. Once odd thing I noticed is that the cashews are sold unsalted. I also noticed that each fruit only has one cashew. This means that tin of cashews in your cupboard took a ton of work! https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ2s9Oj28Z1LXHLzidIaBuuJHki_I-H-LU4_4tbcC7C5RG9dI4Nj6m8nJkXt-2BHQeacySCy-7jeyPlwN0a4IXb8yrixNFZRfJkbcr6lyWPbx62Xk5nc5eLIAvCKjIAxnBnUBy769Rmtw/s1600/cashews+process-1.jpg *[source](http://texturasdeverduras.blogspot.com/2014/04/asando-pepitas-de-maranon.html)* https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxM_bRpNkVjDbvxTgdIPTj2_kRgcX8xnyRKuEHB8jJmtZqugW6vqfgjFpHxSto0lTUlyoTuEWXOzdQ1s0MXP6PZHvK2uSmgZX84Nl3Acx3smTTP5hIUInseZYuKTGeXK-WlsV200wro94/s1600/cashews+process-6.jpg *[source](http://texturasdeverduras.blogspot.com/2014/04/asando-pepitas-de-maranon.html)* https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZYxpSFgUL7PkQ74kFMHMyE_LX4mToqC-XPsCvqgF63BMMU6s1hmYImoxBcFhLUAoBl64rBvOaY6IevnPH6wAfPFRh5_qxyFTkIv2WB25En3xXv1tPSadpuBdzMYtfc_gDc4ruToL-vWY/s1600/cashews+process-9+copy.jpg *[source](http://texturasdeverduras.blogspot.com/2014/04/asando-pepitas-de-maranon.html)* https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZyyPZtcoFWrMH7RIdgdYUsHyaTvP3dO-NE6KvY4aAHjp0mwtH-xbWxR2DU3fLeXN0q_B_yACBStH3ZJoEIZGLCT7jn4eYFSOHNJcYK6WTeBQF9_5TnPlo8CGftDfFHqO8VZqK0n4tLAs/s1600/cashews+process-11+copy.jpg *[source](http://texturasdeverduras.blogspot.com/2014/04/asando-pepitas-de-maranon.html)*
