Nope. They are nuts.

Wade through the scientific mumbo-jumbo in the preceeding link. You'll arrive at the part when Wikipedia calls 'em cashew nuts.

NO!The Cashew Anacardium occidentale is a tree in the flowering plant family, Anacardiaceae. The plant is native to northeastern Brazil, where it is called by its Portuguese name Cajú (the fruit) or Cajueiro (the tree). It is now widely grown in tropical climates for its cashew "nuts" and cashew apples. Originally spread from Brazil by the Portuguese, the cashew tree today can be found in all regions with a sufficiently warm and humid climate

No, they are nuts. You can get them raw, roasted, glazed with different types of candies, salted. The jumbo ones are really good, but they are also expensive. But what do I know, I'm nuts about nuts.

i guess they are if you categorize it as seed, but they're quite different still... so yeah... it's a nut. =)
