Dear expert

Cashew is true fruit or false fruit.

I am very confuse about it.

In class 12 I have studied that It is a false fruit.And now in your class 11 NEET I have studied it under true fruit.

The Cashew Apple is actually not a true fruit but the pedicle or base of the cashew flower. The fruit of the cashew tree is an accessory fruit and termed as pseudocarp or false fruit. The true fruit is actually the cashew nut.

In the flow chart you have posted shows ‘ nut’ and hence it is mentioned as true fruit.
