You Know You're From Bacolod, Philippines If...You Also Eat Fruits Like "Kasoy" (Cashew Nut)! ☺

Te, gakaon ka man sini sang "Kasoy"?! ☺

In the Philippines, Cashew is called "Kasoy".

It originated from north-eastern Brazil and was brought to the Philippines in the 17th century.

Here is another variety of "Kasoy" ...

Kasoy (Anacardium Occidentale L.), even though mainly raised in the backyard or as a secondary crop, is among the important nut crops in the Philippines.

The chemical components from the nut alone would be enough product bases for a multinational chemical company.

Take these for example -resins, automotive brake linings, heatproof and waterproof paint, corrosion-resistant varnish and insulating enamels.

To top it all, the extract can also be used for medical purposes. ☺
