Have you ever wondered where cashew nuts come from? What do they look like when growing on the tree and how are they processed?
Now you can stop wondering! In this delightful, 3-minute video produced by Emily Buehler at the Weaver Street Market, in Carrboro, North Carolina from a powerpoint presentation we delivered to their staff in August, you can see each step in the process from tree to ready-to-eat nut. The photos were taken at the Aprainores Cashew Co-op in San Vicente, El Salvador by Julia Hechtman. (And a few by Mark DiMaggio and me).
We hope you enjoy it! To learn more about cashew nuts, Aprainores, our Fair Foods Program, and the Grow Together Fund, click here.
