Cashew Nuts

Product Details

Kenya cashew nuts are some of the traditional crops that grow mainly in the coastal region of the country for processing. They come from the cashew apple tree that features the seeds at the lowest end of the big yellow fruit above it. The shells are usually curved and triangular even when they have undergone processing. The origin of the 12 to 14-meter high tree may have been in the tropical climate of Brazil’s northeast, but it is now exotic to Africa.

We source Kenya cashew nuts from the coastal belt of Kenya in areas like Taita. Most local family growers have their nuts ready between January and March each year, after the flowering period of November through December. They grow about ten trees per every acreage of their land.
