<p>People are nuts about cashews around the holidays, and that may be contributing to higher prices.Numbers show there's usually a high demand for the nut around this time of year. But this year, local businesses say there's also been a low supply.Workers at Food Fantasies said if the price goes up much more, they may have to look for other suppliers.</p> <p>"If things are getting out of hand as far as prices go, then we feel the need to try to find a different source to where we can get them a lot cheaper," Food Fantasies employee Caleb Smith said. "If they're costing us too much, then they're going to cost the customers too much, obviously, and we don't want that."Cashews are grown in the Middle East, Vietnam, India, and Brazil, among other places. Many of the countries where cashews are produced are experiencing political unrest--something that has contributed to the slowing production.</p> <p> </p>
