The marking-nut’s juice, apart from being used for dying clothes, was consumed in the Middle Ages, by Muslims and Jews, because one believed that it improves memory. However the hot and dry fruit, also employed against cold diseases and because of its heart shape against heart conditions, wreaks delirium and paralysis, and the 9^th-century historian البلاذري (al-Balāḏuriyy) has died from drinking too much of it, hence his name. There was a pisgam for students: חזור חזור ואל תצטריך לבאלדור (hăzōr hăzōr wə-ʾal tiṣṭārēq lə-ḇalāḏūr, “repeat, repeat, and you will not rely on marking-nut!”)
The cashew-nut is a well-known ingredient of cuisine in the Modern Age, its genus Anacardium being only introduced from the New World.
