Processed Cashew Nut

Description

Processed cashew nuts, scientifically known as Anacardium occidentale, are a tropical nut native to Brazil and now cultivated globally. They are processed to remove the toxic Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and enhance their flavor. The nuts are typically roasted or steamed to neutralize the toxic compounds, making them safe for consumption. Cashew nuts are rich in protein, healthy fats, and minerals, and are available in various forms, including whole, roasted, and split.
