Certified Organic Raw Cashew Nuts

These cashews, which are grown on the Island of Flores in the Eastern Indonesian Sea, are harvested and shelled without heating the raw cashew nut. Our associates in Indonesia use specially-designed tools to split open each cashew shell by hand, leaving the cashew nut raw and fresh. These whole cashews with bud still intact will sprout and grow.

To date, the supplier is the only company that produces organic raw cashew nuts to true raw food standards. The cashews are also shelled, sorted and packed by hand to maintain their extremely high quality.

In keeping with our ethos of supplying the most ethical products possible, our Indonesian associates are committed to supporting traditional cashew farmers through the development of social, ecological and economically sustainable supply chains.

What we mean when we say truly raw

Cashew trees produce both a fruit ("apple") and a nut, and a valuable oil can be drawn from the nut shell. After the cashew flower blooms, a nut forms. The apple later swells between the nut shell and the stem. It takes two months for the cashew apple to ripen. When harvested, the apple can only keep for twenty-four hours before it begins to ferment. Although the fruit can be used for making many typical fruit products (jellies, jams, juice, wine and liquor), the apple is often discarded, in pursuit of the nut. If processed and stored properly, the cashew nut can be kept for a year or longer.

Most people experience the cashew in its processed, roasted form. Cashews in stores that are labelled as being "raw" are simply "not roasted." They are not truly raw as they have been steamed out of their shells. Few people know about the very delightful taste and nutritive quality of the cashew nut in its unprocessed raw form.

There is a toxic resin inside the shell layer. If the shell is not opened properly, the resin will get on the cashew nut, making it inedible. Most companies steam the shell open at a high temperature, thus cooking the cashew nut inside. Our associates in Indonesia use a special technique with specially-designed tools (without using any heat at all) to open the shell cleanly every time without ever exposing the cashew nut to the resin. The raw cashews are much sweeter, tastier, and nutritious than their cooked counterparts.
