OUR PROCESS
Cultivation
Cultivating Excellence
Cashew cultivation starts with planting seeds or grafting them onto rootstocks. The cashew tree yields both apples and valuable nuts, with the nut developing below the cashew apple. Successful cashew cultivation not only depends on suitable climate and soil conditions but also on careful attention to pest control, disease management, and proper harvesting techniques for optimal nut harvest.
Harvesting
HARVESTING
During the dry season, workers carefully hand-pick ripe cashew apples, each of which contains a single valuable cashew nut. These nuts are then precisely separated from the apples to avoid any damage.
Processing
Processing
After harvesting, the cashews are first dried to reduce their moisture content. This is followed by shelling, which can be done manually or using machinery. Once shelled, the nuts are then roasted to enhance their flavor and remove any residual shell oil
Seasoning
SEASONING
Once sufficiently dried, the nuts are carefully shelled to extract the edible kernel. These kernels are roasted to enhance their flavor, texture, and aroma, which play a vital role in the creation process by bringing out the nut's unique taste. These roasted cashew nuts can be used for various products, like flavored nuts, cashew butter, or in dishes such as stir-fries, salads, and desserts.
Inspecting
INSPECTING
Inspecting cashew nuts is a vital step in quality control during processing and packaging. It guarantees that consumers get safe, fresh, and high-quality cashews. The inspection covers:
- Quality Grading: Sorting nuts based on size, shape, color, and appearance to select the best for processing and packaging.
- Moisture Content: Testing to prevent mold and spoilage, maintaining proper moisture levels through drying and storage.
- Taste and Aroma: Evaluating for the characteristic flavor and aroma of high-quality cashews.
- Purity: Checking for foreign materials like shell fragments or debris that could impact safety and quality.
- Nutritional Quality: Analyzing fat and protein content to confirm nutritional value.
- Safety Checks: Ensuring adherence to food safety and hygiene standards to prevent contamination and ensure consumer safety
Packaging
PACKAGING
After passing rigorous inspections, cashew nuts are carefully sealed in airtight containers or bags to preserve their quality and freshness during storage and distribution. This meticulous process ensures that consumers receive a premium product meeting industry standards.
