About the product
Our organic Fairtrade cashews come from smallholder cooperatives in Burkina Faso. They are harvested by hand, then carefully cracked and the skins removed – under safe conditions for the workers. Only then are the raw kernels shipped to Hamburg, where they are carefully packaged.
Crisp in texture and wonderfully mild and creamy in flavour.
Cashew nuts are a valuable source of vegetable protein, healthy unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus. As a nutritious snack, they support a balanced diet.
Ideal as a healthy snack between meals or as a topping for bowls, salads and Asian-inspired dishes.
Origin: The cashew nuts come from the region around Bobo Dioulasso in Burkina Faso. They are grown by around 2,000 families from small farmers' cooperatives that produce organically and according to Fairtrade standards. In a country facing economic challenges and structural disadvantages, fair prices, purchase guarantees and training create important prospects for independent development.
Processing: After harvesting, the nuts are processed entirely on site in Burkina Faso. After steaming to neutralise the shell liquid, the nuts are cracked by hand, dried, treated with thermal shock and stripped of their skins. Protective measures are used to protect the workers from the corrosive acid in the shell of the cashew nuts. The cashews are only vacuum-packed and shipped to Hamburg after this complex processing.
