What are some of the things we should know about cashew nuts?

Post Reply 1 Answer

Here are some of the most important things that you must know about cashew nuts.

·    The first cashew tree was found in Brazil. Now many countries like Ivory Coast, Vietnam, Nigeria, Indonesia and India not just cultivate this nut but also export it to different parts of the world.

·    Contrary to its name, cashews are not nuts but are seeds instead.

·    They are produced in a pseudo-fruit called cashew apple from which a kidney-shaped shell protrudes. The nuts are naturally double-wrapped in toxins.

·    The cashew apple, which is a reddish pear-shaped fruit, has a sweet taste and its juice makes a great refreshing drink. However, as this fruit cannot be transferred for long distance, its juice is only consumed by the people of Brazil.

·    Cashews need to be roasted to remove the toxins. These raw nuts, sans toxins, are then roasted again to enhance their flavor.

·    One ounce of cashews carry 150 calories but has the capability to keep the hunger at bay for a longer time as compared to any other food of same calories. They contain healthy fats and proteins to provide a balanced nutrition.

·    From the toxic wrapper of the nut, a cashew shell oil is derived which can be used as an alternative to brake fluid in industries.
