Cashew Introduction

The English name cashew is derived from the Portuguese name for the fruit of the cashew tree, ‘caju’; in the subcontinent it is known as ‘kaju’.

Native to equatorial South America, the Portuguese and Spanish seafarers are credited for introducing the cashew nut to the world during the 15th and 16th centuries. Today it is grown commercially in Brazil, Vietnam, India and many African countries. The tree is small, spreading and ever-green, growing to a height of 10-12 meters.

The cashew tree, now naturalized in tropics, is grown under varied climatic and soil conditions and thrives in tropical climate and coastal sandy land.

The kidney-shaped cashew nuts are actually seeds that grow, partly embedded, on the end of the large fleshy cashew-apple.

Cashew Processing

The crispy kernel is extracted after cutting the shell of the nut and is processed to free it from toxins before use. The edible part is creamy white in colour, has a smooth surface with firm yet delicate texture and smells and tastes sweet and delicious.
