CASHEW-GINGER JUICE

Cashew apples are great in taste, especially when chilled. In #Ghana its usually fruits during the #harmattan season that is, from December through to March. Most people only eat its nut which is also packed with many wonderful nutrients but the fruit itself is mostly thrown away.

I spent some weeks at #Bole, in the Northern region of Ghana and discovered that the #cashew apple was also great in taste and had antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. So I experimented with ginger and O my! It was great.
