Cashew Nut Processing
Discover the step-by-step process of cashew nut processing, where raw cashews are transformed into the delicious nuts we all love. Learn how to process cashews at home using traditional methods that ensure quality and flavor.
Kerala, with its lush greenery and favorable climate, is an ideal region for cashew cultivation. The state’s unique environment provides the perfect conditions for growing high-quality cashew trees, which thrive in the coastal regions and hilly areas. Cashew farming has become a significant agricultural activity in Kerala, contributing to the livelihood of many local farmers.
Cashew trees are planted during the rainy season and take about three to five years to start bearing fruit. These trees require well-drained, sandy loam soil and plenty of sunlight. Farmers in Kerala follow sustainable farming practices, ensuring that the trees are nurtured with organic fertilizers and minimal use of chemicals. The harvesting season typically begins in February and continues until May.

- The cashew nuts are sun-dried to reduce moisture content, making them easier to peel.
- The nuts are manually shelled to remove the hard outer shell, which is a delicate process to prevent damaging the inner kernel.
- The thin skin covering the cashew nuts is removed, revealing the raw cashew kernel inside.
