About the product
Our organic Fairtrade cashew halves come from small farmers' cooperatives in Burkina Faso. They are harvested by hand, then carefully cracked and the skin removed - under safe conditions for the workers. As kernels always break during the cracking process, it makes sense to offer halves as well as whole cashews - because every kernel counts! The vacuum pack ensures the best product quality until the bag is opened at home.
Crunchy in consistency 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. Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in the world - fair prices, purchase guarantees and training create important economic prospects there.
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. As kernels always break during the cracking process, it makes sense to offer halves and fragments as well as whole cashews - because every kernel counts! This is why the cashews are sorted by size and type of fragment and then vacuum-packed. The removal of oxygen preserves the texture, flavour and nutrients in their original and healthiest form. This is how we guarantee the best product quality until you open the bag at home!
