Origin and harvest
The cashew tree, also known as the cashew tree, acaju tree or kidney tree, belongs to the sumac family (Anacardiaceae). The Portuguese were the first Europeans to discover this tree in north-eastern Brazil. Today, however, it is also cultivated in many other countries with tropical climates. The name cashew is derived from the Portuguese name Caja or Cajueiro. The name Acaju comes from the Indian Tupi language. The trees bear the cashew fruit below the fruit stalk, the cashew apple, in which the actual cashew kernel grows. They also thrive in poor, nutrient-poor soil. The cashew harvest takes place between February and the end of April. During this period, the ripe cashew nuts fall from the tree and can be collected. After harvesting, they still have a very hard shell and a brown skin around the kernel. Like pistachios and almonds, cashews are botanically classified as drupes.
Taste and use
The light-colored, kidney-shaped cashews have a slightly sweet and nutty taste. They are not only ideal as a snack on their own, but also for refining muesli, salads, soups and vegetable dishes as well as a baking ingredient for bread and rolls. They are particularly popular in Asian cuisine. They are used in rice dishes and are a particularly tasty ingredient in curries. They are also used as a garnish. Cashews should always be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to preserve their high quality.
