Description
Cashew or Kaju is a popular ingredient present in various Indian dishes, specifically used as a base for dishes. Recently, it used to make dairy alternatives such as cashew milk and cream.
Cashews are a kidney-shaped seed sourced from the cashew tree- Anacardium occidentale. This evergreen tree produces both, an apple-like tree and a nut that hangs beneath the fruit. These cashews are native to Brazil and introduced by colonists to Africa and India. It is available around the year, and these nuts have a great shelf life if stored properly.
Cashew nuts are not technically nuts but they are seeds. Cashews have a rich nutty flavour, similar to almonds or peanuts. When pureed, it may be hard to distinguish cashew butter from other nut butter like a peanut. Cashew nuts can be consumed raw, roasted, or salted.
