Seed for a cashew tree
Planting a Cashew Tree in a 
Large Crop Plot is how survivors in the Primitive Plus DLC of ARK: Survival Evolved grow their own cashew trees, and the seed can also be eaten for a little nourishment. The in-game text says: "Eat it to gain a tiny amount of nourishment, or plant it to grow your own cashew tree. Can only be planed in large tree plot." According to the ARK Wiki, that text carries a mistake and a typo, which it puts down to developer oversight.
Where the seeds come from
Foraging bushes now and then turns one up. Farmed cashew trees are the other source: at harvest they give new seeds along with Cashews.
A very small tree
A Large Crop Plot is the only plot the wiki accepts for it. There the seed becomes a cashew tree that in time bears Cashews and fresh seeds. Its growth is limited, and the grown tree stays tiny; the wiki jokes that this suits a bonsai garden.
Each seed weighs 0.01, and a stack holds 100.
