Cashew

Cashew nuts are among the most popular and best-selling nuts in Slovakia, even though they cannot be grown here. Most of the cashew production comes from countries like Vietnam or India. However, the largest producer of cashew nuts in the world is the African country of Nigeria.
We have tried cashews from various countries, but ultimately we decided on those from Africa. Not from Nigeria, but from Tanzania and Togo. The reason for this decision was clearly the quality, which far exceeded especially those cashew nuts coming from Vietnam or India. Another reason that weighed in favor of these two African countries was that we also make various types of cashew spreads from our cashew nuts. Here, the quality of the nuts is very important because we need to achieve a creamy consistency without adding any fats or additives.

Did you know?
- Cashew nuts are one of the few that grow outside their shell. Essentially, they could be considered more as seeds than nuts. This shell is called a "cashew apple" (even though it resembles a pear more) and the cashew nut grows from its lower half. From one fruit, only one nut grows. There is another shell on the nut itself, and this must be removed as it is toxic.
- Although some cashew nuts are sold under the label RAW, in reality, no sold cashew is completely raw. Due to their shell, they must be treated with hot steam before being sold. This ensures the removal of the shell, making the cashew nut edible.
- More than 90% of the world's cashew production is consumed in the United States.
- The shell of cashew nuts is often used in lubricants and waterproof products.
