Various ways to get money? Nuts! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cashews

'nuts' is the definition.
(I know this)

'various ways to get money?' is the wordplay.
'various ways' becomes 'ews' (compass directions).
'to get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'money?' becomes 'cash' (cash is a type of money).
'ews' put after 'cash' is 'CASHEWS'.

(Another definition for cashews that I've seen is " Tropical nuts".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
