Step your plant up to larger pots gradually as you acclimate it to the sun. Consider ordering two trees for cross pollination and get a larger harvest. Your tree should begin fruiting at around three years of age. Keep the trees compact so you can cover them with a blanket, if you are in other zones you need a greenhouse.Ĭashew is self fertile and is pollinated by insects. I have many friends that grow them here in South Florida and they do protect them in winter. Best chance of success without a greenhouse would be zones 11a then 10b and more difficult in 10a. At temperatures below 40 degrees they are in big trouble and can die. They do not like temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. They like tropical weather but you can grow them in the sub tropics too. The average planted height of this seedling offered on my Etsy store is: Measured from soil level is 5-6 inches.

Eating 18 cashew nuts a day already provides you with the recommended daily consumption of antioxidants. Cashew nuts are also an excellent source for antioxidants. All the nuts are sorted manually and that is pretty unique.Ĭashews are high in calories (100 g – 553 calories) so be mindful when you open up the jar with them! Although they bring plenty of calories they are rich in “heart-friendly” mono-unsaturated fatty acids, high in protein and abundant source of essential minerals (manganese, potassium, copper, iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium). There, the shell is removed with heat and the nuts sorted based on their size. The cashew nuts in-shell are collected and transported to the local factory. Cracking and sorting the cashews in Tanzania is not only better for the environment, but also contributes to the employment of local Tanzanians.
They are entirely harvested and processed there. As the cashew nut is difficult to extract from its hard shell, and the shell contains powerful irritant substances, the nut is commonly sold shelled. The cashew tree produces cashew apples, small red-yellow false fruit with a cashew nut dangling off the base (the true fruit of the cashew tree is a much smaller drupe that acts as a receptacle for the cashew nut.) Although the cashew seed is called a nut, it’s not a true nut-true nuts come from fruits with a single seed and a hard shell that does not split open upon reaching maturity. Native to South America, the cashew tree was introduced to India by the Portuguese, and is now grown in many other tropical parts of the world.
