When we think of cashews, we usually picture the crunchy kernels\u2014healthy, versatile and popular. But what many people don\u2019t know: every single cashew nut grows on a fruit\u2014the cashew apple.<\/p>\n

This vibrant yellow-to-red fruit, about the size of an apple, is juicy, refreshing, and loaded with vitamins. Botanically, the cashew nut isn\u2019t a nut at all, but the seed of this fruit. And the cashew apple itself? A true superfood, containing up to five times more vitamin C than oranges! Yet in most cases, it ends up discarded.<\/p>\n

The numbers are staggering: for every kilo of processed cashew nuts, around ten kilos of cashew apples are left behind. Nearly four million tons are wasted each year\u2014not because they\u2019re inedible, but because the fruit is highly perishable and infrastructure for transport and processing is often lacking in the growing regions. An untapped treasure.<\/p>\n

This is exactly where our partner AKOUA<\/strong><\/a> comes in. The startup is dedicated to rescuing cashew apples and transforming them into valuable products such as juice, refreshing lemonade, and concentrate used as a natural sweetener.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
