The 5 Steps of Processing Raw Cashew Nuts
Cashew nuts are a popular snack enjoyed worldwide, but few know the detailed process behind turning raw cashew nuts into the delicious, ready-to-eat crunchy treats we enjoy. The journey from tree to table involves five key steps, ensuring quality and flavor.
-
Harvesting: Cashew nuts grow outside the cashew apple and are carefully harvested once they ripen. Farmers collect them by hand, ensuring only the best nuts are picked.
-
Drying: After harvesting, cashew nuts are sun-dried to reduce moisture. This step prevents mold and makes shell removal easier.
-
Shelling: The cashew nut is encased in a hard shell containing a natural irritant. Removing the shell requires skill and precision to avoid contamination and maintain the nut’s quality.
-
Roasting and Peeling: To eliminate any remaining toxins, cashews undergo roasting. Once roasted, the thin skin covering the nut is peeled off, revealing the creamy cashew inside.
-
Grading and Packing: Finally, the nuts are sorted based on size and quality before being packed. High-quality cashews, like those from WW Cashews, undergo air-roasting to enhance their natural flavors without added oils.
Each step in processing raw cashews ensures they reach consumers in their best form—fresh, flavorful, and safe to eat. Whether you enjoy them plain or seasoned, knowing the journey behind your cashews makes each bite even more satisfying.
