Raw Cashew Nuts

Raw Cashew Nuts from Ghana are high-quality, naturally harvested nuts grown primarily in the Brong-Ahafo, Volta, Eastern, Northern, and Western regions. Ghanaian raw cashew nuts are highly regarded for their good kernel yield, consistent nut size, and low moisture content, making them suitable for processing into cashew kernels.

These nuts are uncooked and unprocessed, exported in their raw shell form, and typically intended for industrial or semi-industrial processing into edible kernels.
