The cashew nut is the third widely consumed edible tree nut and the most nutritious one. Cashews are low in fat, have zero cholesterol, are high in protein, and include a large amount of important vitamins and minerals.

The Cashew nut is widely preferred for its distinct flavour and consumed world over as a snack food or used as ingredients in confectioneries, savories and other food substances. This special taste of the cashew is the result of many factors such as the variety of the tree, the soils, the irrigation methods and the weather.

Many of these factors cannot be controlled by the small farmers but how the nut is processed and handled afterwards can help produce the best nut in the world.

We at Afronut Ltd. buy the cashew directly from the local producers in our native Gambia and Guinea and process it in our state of the art facility located in Banyun, Gambia. At our facility we shell the Cashew, dry it to remove the testa, and then clasify the kernels into one of the 26 grades according to size, color and condition.

Gambia, well known for its finest products of raw cashew nuts, has been identified as an ideal gateway for cashew export in its sub region (Mr. Momodou Ceesay, CAG President).
