Cashew Nuts

What Is It?
Cashew nuts are the kidney-shaped seeds of the Anacardium occidentale tree, which grows in tropical climates. Indonesia is one of Asia’s significant cashew producers and processors primarily in East Java, East Nusa Tenggara, and Sulawesi. Cashews grow attached to the bottom of the cashew apple fruit and must undergo a careful shelling and processing process before they are safe and ready to eat, as the raw shell contains urushiol (the same compound as in poison ivy). Processed cashews are prized for their buttery, mild flavour, high protein content, and rich supply of healthy fats, zinc, magnesium, and copper. They are one of the most commercially versatile nuts in the global food industry.

Common Uses:

• Snack food production: Whole roasted cashews, salted, honey-roasted, chilli-lime, or natural are among the best-selling snack nuts globally. Used in mixed nut products and premium snack packs.
• Plant-based dairy alternatives: Cashews are uniquely suited to plant-based dairy due to their naturally creamy texture when blended. Cashew milk, cashew cheese, and cashew cream are mainstream vegan staples.
• Nut butter & spreads: Cashew butter is a popular premium alternative to peanut butter, used in health food stores, cafes, and as a recipe ingredient.
• Cooking & cuisine ingredient: Cashews are widely used in Indian, Chinese, and Southeast Asian cooking. In curries, stir-fries, biryani, and as a garnish in rice dishes.
• Confectionery & chocolate: Used whole or chopped in chocolates, brittle, fudge, and premium snack bars. Cashew pieces are also used in bakery items.
• Health supplement & protein products: Cashew-based protein powders and nutrition bars use cashew as a clean-label protein and fat source for active nutrition products.
