Kaju
Product Description
Kaju (cashew) is a nutrient-dense, kidney-shaped seed harvested from the base of the tropical cashew apple, native to Brazil but widely grown in India and Africa. Known for its mild, buttery flavor and high healthy fat content, it is popular as a dry fruit, snack, and ingredient in curries and sweets.
Key Description & Features:
Origin & Growth: The cashew nut grows inside a hard, toxic shell hanging from the bottom of the fleshy, edible cashew apple. It requires meticulous, often manual, roasting and processing to make the nut edible.
Nutrient Profile: Rich in minerals (magnesium, phosphorus, zinc), vitamin K, and heart-healthy unsaturated fats, it helps improve bone health and aids in satiety for weight management.
Usage: Popular in culinary applications like Kaju-shahi-paneer, snacks, and sweets (Kaju Katli), or eaten raw/roasted.
Appearance & Texture: Creamy white color, kidney-shaped with a soft, firm texture and a rich, buttery taste.
Grades: Graded by color, size, and condition.
