Organic Cashew Nuts 1 kg – Bio Planet
Cashew nuts are the seeds of the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale). It originates from South America but is now cultivated in all tropical regions. The largest exporters of this product are India, Vietnam, and Brazil.
How do cashew nuts grow?
The tree that produces these seeds is closely related to the mango. It has a branched, wide crown. For a very long time, it was cultivated only for timber production. Only recently was its true treasure discovered. The nuts are not easy to harvest, as their shells contain a corrosive oil. This requires the use of protective clothing and special tools. Is it worth it? Absolutely!
What do they taste like?
Cashew nuts are exceptionally soft nuts. Yet, they retain a delicate crunch. Their shape resembles human kidneys. They are milky white. They have a subtly sweet taste.
Nutritional benefits of organic cashew nuts
These nuts are rich in vitamins and minerals. They contain a high amount of Vitamin B6. This vitamin contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, supports the normal functioning of the nervous system, and also aids the immune system and normal red blood cell formation.
