Raw Cashew Nut In Shell

Raw Cashew Nuts are harvested from the Cashew nut tree in first half of the year in the Northern hemisphere and second half of the year in the southern hemisphere. Farmers usually pick fallen cashew apples and wring the raw cashew nut off the fruit. The raw cashew nut is then dried on flat clean ground for a day or two in the sun to preserve the nuts. A well dried raw cashew nut will have about 9% to 10% of inherent moisture.
