Answer:

The juicy edible part in anacardium fruit is kidney or boxing glove shaped drupe.

Explanation:

The kidney- or boxing-glove-shaped drupe that develops at the tip of the cashew apple is the actual fruit of the cashew tree. The cashew apple first grows as a drupe on the tree, after which the pedicel enlarges. The drupe develops into the actual fruit, a single seed enclosed in a shell that is frequently referred to as a nut in the culinary sense. The seed is encased in a double shell made of an allergenic phenolic resin called anacardic acid, which is chemically related to the more well-known and toxic allergenic oil urushiol, which is present in related poison ivy and lacquer tree. Anacardic acid is a powerful skin irritant. #SP J3
