Cashew (Kaju)
What is Cashew (Kaju)?
Cashew, locally known as Kaju, is a delicious and nutrient-rich dry fruit widely loved across Pakistan. Technically, it’s not a nut but a seed that grows outside the cashew apple, primarily in tropical countries such as India, Vietnam, Ivory Coast, and Brazil.
In Pakistan, cashews are a symbol of premium quality dry fruits, often used in desserts, special recipes, and as healthy snacks.
Description
History & Global Origins of Cashew
Cashew trees are native to northeastern Brazil, but they were introduced to Asia by the Portuguese in the 16th century. Over time, India and Vietnam became the largest producers and exporters of high-quality cashew nuts.
In Pakistan, cashews are mostly imported and highly valued for their taste, texture, and nutritional value. They’re especially popular during the winter season, wedding functions, Ramadan, and Eid celebrations.
Where Does Pakistan Get Its Cashews?
Since Pakistan does not have a suitable climate for growing cashews, all Kaju available in local markets is imported, mostly from:
-
India (especially Kerala and Goa)
-
Vietnam
-
Africa (Ivory Coast and Nigeria)
We ensure that our cashews are premium-grade, carefully sourced from top exporters, and shipped fresh to Pakistan. Our selection includes whole, unbroken, creamy white cashew nuts with no added salt or preservatives.
