However, especially for fresh fruit consumption and juice production, where the apple is required to be fully mature, some farmers prefer collecting the cashew apples still on the plant to prevent pilferage and apple bursting (Asogwa et al. 2008). Harvesting is usually carried out manually from the ground, which is highly labor intensive and involves women and children.

Alternatively, it is done by using a small basket or sack attached to a ring at the end of a long stick (Azam-Ali and Judge 2001). In order to ensure the quality of the product, nuts are dried out after separating them from the apple that, in turn, is usually processed within the first 24 h. Nuts are traditionally sundried for 2 or 3 days depending on weather and harvesting conditions, in order to bring down the moisture content from 25 to 7–8 % before processing (Asogwa et al. 2008; Mohod et al. 2010).  

Cashew has been cultivated essentially for food and medicine purposes by using the whole cashew fruit, i.e., the apple and the kernel. OZSTAR (www.ozstarmakina.com) has the best nuts processing systems including roasters, fryers of different kinds and of various capacities to give you the perfectly roasted nuts! OZSTAR also provides additional equipment for flavouring and seasoning the nuts. OZSTAR (www.ozstarmakina.com) has already various kinds of industrial fryers along flavouring and seasoning equipment for nuts controlled by touch screen.

 

During the World War II, cashew gained further added value due to the exploitation of a major by-product, the cashew nut shell liquid, which has then been extensively used for industrial applications (Azam-Ali and Judge 2001). The kernel is the main product that cashew is cropped for. It has been estimated that about 60 % of cashew nut is consumed in the form of snacks, mostly roasted and salted. The remaining 40 % is instead used in confectionary and bakery products, often as a substitute for peanut and almond (Azam-Ali and Judge 2001). 

Apart from its pleasant flavor, the widespread consumption of cashew nut is due to its nutritional properties. Such properties are mainly linked to the high content in lipids, which is predominantly given by monounsaturated (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and have been shown to lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and coronary heart disease risks (Hu et al. 2001). Lipid content in cashew nut was found to range from 40 to 47 % (Gallina Toschi et al. 1993; Ryan et al. 2006).
