Cashew nuts are rich in nutrients, sweet, crisp and delicious. How to grow them? Can cashews be eaten raw?

Cashew nuts are poisonous when eaten raw. Dried fruits are all green fruits, while cashew nuts are just a shell-like structure that grows outside the fruit. Raw cashews contain urushiol. This is also a toxic compound, and these chemicals are found in poison ivy. If this chemical comes into contact with the body, it will produce the same reaction as poison ivy and poison palm.

Therefore, cashew nuts are poisonous if eaten raw. The sugar content of raw cashews is very high, accounting for almost 25% of the total nutrients. The fat content of raw cashew nuts reaches 47%, the protein is 22%, and it is also rich in minerals and a large number of vitamins. Planting Cashew Nut Trees

Because the production mode of cashew nut seedlings is unstable, asexual reproduction is often used. Asexual propagation techniques for cashew nuts include: hypocotyl grafting, layering, cork board grafting, tissue culture, cuttings, etc. Cashews are not intolerant to low temperatures and require continuous high temperatures during the growing season. The average monthly temperature is 23-30°C, and fruiting is normal. If the ambient temperature is less than 15°C, serious damage and death will occur. Do not plant in areas with high groundwater or a lot of water in rainy seasons. Cashew tree management methods

Although cashews can withstand drought, practical experience in cultivated land has proven that cashews that grow naturally have very little harvest. When fertilized, the total yield of a perfect fruit tree will double. Therefore, cashew trees need to be properly fertilized. The mixed application method has the best effect in increasing yield, followed by the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, followed by the mixed application of base fertilizer and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. The higher the nitrogen content, the longer the blooming time, and the higher the phosphorus and potassium content, the shorter the blooming time.

Applying 600 grams of base fertilizer, 200 grams of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and 200 grams of potassium fertilizer to each green plant every year can significantly increase the production of a single nut tree. Pruning can adjust the trunk structure and improve the light transmittance of the tree trunk, thereby increasing the fruit-bearing rate and improving efficiency. In addition to cashew production, cashew trees should also be pruned. The standards for pruning cashew seedlings should be light but not heavy, and should be done sooner rather than later. Using the method of staged and multiple cuts, the laser cutting and plastic surgery effect is very good.
