Cashew nuts are among the world’s most popular tree nuts, valued not only for their rich flavor and creamy texture but also for their impressive nutritional profile. From healthy snacking to food processing, their applications continue to expand — driving robust demand across continents.
🌍 What Are Cashew Nuts?
Cashew nuts are the edible kidney-shaped seeds of the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale), native to Brazil but now cultivated primarily in tropical regions such as Vietnam, India, and parts of Africa. Unlike many other nuts, cashews must be heat-treated to remove toxins in the shell before consumption.
Once processed, they are graded and sold as:
- Whole white kernels (WW320, WW240, WW180…)
- Broken grades (LP, SP, WS, BB…)
- Roasted, salted, or flavored snacks
- Organic or skin-on variants
🏆 Why Are Cashew Nuts in High Demand?
- Nutritional Benefits: High in healthy fats, plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
- Plant-Based Trend: Widely used in vegan cheeses, spreads, and sauces.
- Export Growth: Global demand has been increasing in the U.S., EU, Middle East, Japan, and Korea.
- Versatile Applications: Used in snacks, confectionery, bakeries, cereal blends, and culinary sauces.
