Definitions tagged marañón in the street dictionary.

merey

The cashew tree, its fruit, and its nut. Found throughout Venezuela, the fleshy fruit is often dried or preserved as a sweet, while the nut is roasted, pressed for oil, or ground into a paste similar to marzipan. (In Venezuela, both the fruit and the nut are widely consumed, unlike in many regions where only the nut is known).

Cajuil

The Dominican name for the cashew tree, its fruit, and its seeds. While other Spanish-speaking regions use terms like maranon or anacardo, this is the standard name in the Dominican Republic for both the fruit and the roasted nuts sold in markets.

I bought a small bag of semillas de cajuil at the traffic light. I had some pollo al cajuil at the Chinese spot.
