Essence Of Kerala

Cashew Products

A popular ingredient finding its way into many cuisines, Cashew - a plant originating from Brazil, is a nut high in minerals. The nut, often known as the poor man’s plantation - Back when nomads had no idea how to consume the fruit, the nut was discarded while the fruit was given more importance, although now it is sold for steep prices for its nutritious values, is used to make delectable and rich cuisines and also roasted and eaten dry. They are an intrinsic part of our festive celebrations too.

Our cashew kernels are sourced from these countries.
