Raw whole cashews, pale cream, in a wooden bowl wrapped in jute twine with the engraved Alkhani seal

Raw cashews

Also called كاجو نيء

Cashews left plain, cream-coloured and tender

About this product

Raw means unroasted. The cashews are whole crescents, pale cream with a beige tinge on some, and the surface is matte because nothing coats them. Cooks like them this way so they can roast or fry them at home exactly as far as they want; others simply eat them as they are.

Taste

Mild and milky, softer than roasted cashews, so each one yields rather than cracks. Because it is unroasted, it takes whatever you add in the kitchen, a pinch of salt, sugar or spice.

How to enjoy it

Raw cashews go into cooking: fried in a little ghee and scattered over rice, maqluba or roast chicken, or ground for sweets and sauces. Some people just eat them with tea.

How to store it

Raw cashews are oily, so keep them sealed in the fridge if they will last more than a couple of weeks; that stops them going rancid or picking up smells from other food.
