Cashews: From Tree to Table

Each cashew grows on the outside of a fruit called the cashew apple.

Processing

1. The nuts are dried in the sun.
2. They are roasted or steamed to remove the toxic shell oil.
3. The shells are cracked and the kernels peeled by hand.

Storing cashews

Keep them in an airtight jar in a cool, dark place, or in the fridge for longer freshness.
