Cashews are quite unusual - the edible seeds grow at the base of a "false fruit," generally called a cashew apple. They're in the same family as poison ivy, and the shells of the seeds have similar skin-irritating properties.

Most "nuts" aren't actually nuts. I'm pretty sure almonds, walnuts, pistachios, donuts, hex nuts, butternut squash, etc. aren't nuts.

Quiz is outdated, Ansu Fati isn’t the youngest goalscorer for Spain. Lamine Yamal is now in that position. Fun fact though, he also has African roots, but in Equatorial Guinea instead.
