China is stepping on sauerkraut, Europe is stepping on grapes, and India is stepping on cashews. What is the operation? When Indians harvest cashews, they throw them directly on the ground and trample them with their feet until they are rotten. What exactly is this operation and why do Indians do it? Can the crushed cashews still be eaten? Let's take a look at this together and you will know the answer after reading it. Cashew nuts are not uncommon in our life. In recent years, cashew nuts have become people's leisure snacks. They are planted on a large scale in China and in India.
However, cashew nuts in India have always been ignored. It was not until the 196s that cashew nuts began to be commercialized in India. Now cashew nuts have become the leading agricultural industry in India, and the industrial scale is no less than ours. Why are cashews suddenly popular in India? This has to start with Indians discovering business opportunities. Cashew nuts have always been a favorite food in Europe, especially roasted cashews.
at the end of last century, Indians found that Europeans especially liked cashews, so the local government began to support Indian farmers to plant cashews, and finally processed cashews into what Europeans liked, and then sold them to Europeans to earn foreign exchange. When I first tried to sell cashews to Europeans, the Indian government found it so simple to make money.
So, cashew nut cultivation is continuously expanded in the local area, trying to earn more foreign exchange. In addition to their own cultivation, India also found it possible to resell cashews, directly import raw cashews from some producing countries, and then process them into roasted cashews that Europeans like, and then earn the difference. In cashew nuts, India can be said to have developed its business acumen to the extreme, and cashew nuts have really brought a lot of economic benefits to India.
According to the data, as early as two years ago, India's cashew imports were close to 1.1 billion US dollars, making it the country with the largest cashew imports in the world. At the same time, the scale of cashew planting in India is also quite large, and its cashew planting scale is close to 1/5 of that in the world, making it the largest country in the world.
But in cashew business, we don't have much relationship with India. Our country also imports cashew nuts, but almost all of them are imported from Southeast Asia. Indians only do business with Europe. So in the cashew industry, Indians are mainly processed cashews, among which nuts are the main ones, and the pulp has entered another link and has not been directly wasted. After all, India is also very particular about saving resources. Indians have racked their brains to study cashew nuts, and the research on cashew nuts is far less than ours.
Among them, as mentioned at the beginning, the Indian stepped on cashew nuts, which is an effective way to process cashew nuts developed by Indians. Indians know that cashew nuts are toxic to some extent, so in order to get rid of the toxicity of cashew nuts, they choose to process the pulp of cashew nuts with their feet, crush them all with their feet, and then put the crushed cashew nuts in a sand belt, in order to precipitate the juice of cashew nuts, which is not directly taken out for drinking.
After Indian workers collect the juice, they use it for fermentation instead of drinking it. Fruit juice is fermented and then cooked to become transparent cashew wine. Cashew wine is also a very popular product in the market, and the production of cashew wine through cashew processing can achieve greater economic benefits. Cashew wine belongs to fruit wine, which tastes sweet and sour, a bit like a cocktail. Young people like to drink it very much. Some of the local cashew wine is exported and some is for local consumers.
After reading it, do you know the purpose of Indian people stepping on rotten cashews? Of course, Indian people should pay attention to hygiene when stepping on cashews, and they don't go in barefoot. People wear at least a pair of sterilized plastic shoes, which is still different from our practice of sauerkraut in pits and cannot be compared. What do you think of this?
