Cashew Kaju

Cashews, commonly known as “Kaju” in many South Asian countries, are seeds that originate from the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale). Cashews are native to northeastern Brazil but are now grown in various tropical regions worldwide. Despite being commonly referred to as nuts, cashews are technically seeds. The cashew nut is the kidney-shaped part attached to the cashew apple. Cashews have a rich, buttery flavour and a creamy texture. They can be enjoyed roasted, raw, or as part of processed products like cashew butter.
