Guinea-Bissau is one of the world's leading cashew producers, and cashews are its most important export. In villages at harvest time, the shells are roasted to extract the nuts, which are then toasted and salted and served as a snack or to guests.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At harvest time in a Bissau-Guinean village, red and yellow fruits drop beneath the cashew trees, and nuts toasted in a pan are spooned into bowls.
