History

Cashew nuts originated in the northeastern region of Brazil and were introduced to India by Portuguese traders in the 16th century. Initially valued for their fruit, the cashew apple, the nut later gained global popularity due to its nutritional richness and culinary value. In India, especially in Kerala and Goa, cashews became widely cultivated and are now a significant export crop. Their unique growth on the bottom of the cashew apple and labor-intensive harvesting make them one of the most interesting and prized nuts in the world.
