For a fair and healthy living!
Recently, the demand for cashewnuts has increased significantly. Many people do not know who this nut grows. The raw cashewnut grows under the so-called cashewapple, it’s thus the seed from the apple.
Cashews are growing mainly in West-Africa, Mozambique, Tanzania, Inda and Vietnam. Also in Brazil and Indonesia you will find cashewtrees but in smaller quantities.
For cashews there are two crops in a year. The northern hemisphere crop and the southern hemisphere crop.
The cashewapple will be used locally, but the shelf life is very short so exporting the apple is not an option.
Nuts World is buying cashews from African countries, this is because the quality is much better than cashews originating from India and Vietnam. In addition, we sell only African cashews because we support local farmers and factory workers who will shell the nuts mainly by hand. And most important is that both will receive a fair income.
You will find cashewnuts everywhere. Cashews will be used in mixes frequently, roasted as well as unroasted. However they will be used more and more as ingredient in the bakery industry for instance. The cashewnut is seen as the most popular nut.
