Nut from the tropics (6)
I believe the answer is:
cashew
'nut from the tropics' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for cashew that I've seen before include "Kidney shaped nut" , "Kind of nut" , "Common type of nut" , "Chew as you would this nut" , "Edible nut" .)
