Cashew nuts are part of the fruit of the "cashew tree". They are mainly produced in Vietnam, Nigeria, India, and Brazil. Cashew nuts look like a yellow-green date when they grow on the tree. The shape is also a bit like lotus mist and apple.

The fruit of the cashew tree is divided into two parts. The upper part is a false fruit commonly known as (cashew apple). It is named after it looks like an apple when eaten.

I heard it tastes similar to durian, and the lower half is the cashew nut we usually eat.

Processing the lower half of the cashew nut is more labor-intensive. It is not possible to eat the cashew nut directly by removing the upper half, because there is a layer of peel containing corrosive resin outside the cashew nut that must be removed.

Although most of this action is done by machines now, in some places the skin is still peeled manually. It must be dried and baked first. When there is not much corrosive resin left, gloves must be worn. Peel the cashews.

Even if protective measures are taken, workers’ hands will still be injured after a long time, so the price of processed cashew nuts is not cheap. I didn’t expect that the processing of cashew nuts is so troublesome. Don’t waste cashew nuts next time you eat them, because these fruits are the result of the hard work of workers.

If planting in a large area, it is necessary to topdress with amino acid water-soluble fertilizer to improve the quality.
