The "nut" from a cashew is the seed a stone fruit (like the center of a peach pit). The strawberry "seed" is the entire fruit.

    I don't see why the apple from a cashew can't also be classified as an aggregate accessory fruit, like the red flesh of the strawberry, which would make the cashew pit an achene like the seeds of a strawberry.
