Discovering cashew nuts
Originally from Latin America, cashew nuts were introduced into Southeast Asia in the 16th century. Originally from anacardier, an oily tree native to Brazil, this seed has now been imposed in many tropical regions of the globe, with major crops in India, Vietnam and West Africa.
The peculiarity of cashew lies in its fruit: a cashew apple with acidic taste, with a texture similar to that of an apple. This part, although often unknown, is edible raw, in juice, or transformed into fermented drink. The walnut, on the other hand, is at the tip of this apple. Protected by a thick hull, it requires a delicate decorticating, followed by a steam passage to remove the fine skin. This is how we get crunchy almond in the shape of a crescent, which we know.
