- Description: This cider is made from the fruit of the Caju tree, (also spelt Cazhu and Cashew). The fruit consists of an apple, which is fermented for cider, and an external nut, the cashew nut, which is attached to the tip of the apple in a crescent shaped pod. The nut itself is edible but the hard pod in which it is encased is impregnated with virulent oil which must first be expelled by fire or distillation before the nut can be cracked open. It now forms an important part of the local economy. The cashew apples rippen in November and their harvest marks a time of annual indulgence for the Chopi and is frequently mentioned in song.

They have a great variety of songs most of which reflect their own personal thoughts, their troubles and enjoyments, their case for their sons and daughters, and the stresses and strains of their daily lives.
