Other people were in agreement about the price of cashews, with some saying it might impact their purchasing decisions in the future.
'Doesn't it change your whole perspective of buying a container of them at Costco? Madness,' the Twitter user wrote.
Pictures showing cashews on trees sparked an interest from people online to learn more about where their favorite nut comes from, and it was discovered it isn't even a true nut.
Cashews are actually seeds that grow from a tree, which are native to Brazil. Although it originated in Brazil, the Portuguese later took the tree to India where it started to grow there as well as other parts of Southeast Asia.
They grow in a shell that is then attached at the bottom of the cashew apple. People will pick the entire apple and then remove the cashew for consumption.
