Harvesting

Organic cashews are typically grown in tropical climates, with the majority of production occurring in countries such as India, Vietnam, and Brazil. The cashew tree produces a pear-shaped accessory fruit, with the cashew nut attached to the bottom. The nuts are harvested once the fruit ripens, usually between February and May, depending on the specific region. After harvesting, the cashew nuts are carefully removed from the fruit and then dried to remove excess moisture. The outer shell is then cracked open to reveal the edible kernel inside. The natural raw product is a creamy white colour with a slightly sweet and buttery flavour.

Cashews are naturally rich in nutrients, including protein, healthy fats, and essential minerals such as copper, magnesium, and phosphorus. They also contain vitamins such as vitamin K, vitamin E, and B vitamins. As a raw product, cashews do not typically have added nutrients or minerals, as they are naturally nutrient-dense.

The organic nature of Organic Cashews means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Cashews in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.

The History of Organic Cashews

Organic cashews have a rich history dating back to ancient times, originating in the tropical regions of Brazil and the Amazon rainforest. The cashew tree, native to South America, was first brought to India and East Africa by Portuguese explorers in the 16th century. Cashews were initially used for their medicinal properties and later gained popularity as a nutritious and delicious snack. The organic movement in the 20th century led to the cultivation of cashews without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, preserving the natural integrity of the nut. Today, organic cashews are celebrated for their sustainable farming practices and superior taste, embodying a legacy of health and environmental consciousness.
