Background of Cashew Nuts

The cashew nut is the seed of the tropical evergreen shrub Anacardium occidentale, intertwined with mango, pistachio, and even the notorious poison ivy. Native to Brazil, the cultivation and consumption of cashews have spread globally, making it a beloved snack and cooking ingredient. Unique in its growth, the cashew nut forms at the bottom of the cashew apple, resembling a tail, which is unlike most conventional nuts that grow within the fruit.

Production Process

Aashirvaad has developed a refined process that ensures the preservation of the cashew nut's natural state while enhancing its flavor and crispness. The raw cashews undergo several crucial steps before reaching your table:

1. Harvesting: The first step involves hand-picking the ripe cashew apples from the Anacardium occidentale trees.
2. Shelling: Cashews are the only nuts sold unshelled. This is because the shell contains urushiol, an oil known for causing skin irritation similar to poison ivy. Once harvested, these cashews undergo a specialized shelling process that safely removes the outer skin.
3. Heat Treatment: The unshelled cashew kernels are subjected to heat treatment in sophisticated tunnel ovens. This step is crucial for reducing moisture content and killing any potential bacteria or pathogens.
4. Roasting: Following the heat treatment, the cashews are roasted to perfection. This not only enhances the flavor but also offers a delightful crunchy texture.
5. Packaging: Finally, to ensure the long-lasting freshness and crispness of the roasted cashew kernels, they are packed using inert gases. This packaging technique helps lock in the flavor and extend the shelf life, guaranteeing freshness whenever you open the pack.
