How to Store Cashews to Keep Them Delicious
Cashews are nutritious and delicious nuts, loved by many people. Based on the kind of cashews, there are different ways to store them. This post shows you a guide on how to store cashews (fresh raw cashews, fresh cashews with shell and white cashews).
1. How to Store Fresh Raw Cashew Nuts
Fresh cashews are cashews that have just been harvested. For this type, the only way to preserve it is to dry the cashews under the sun. Here are important notes for cashew producers:
Avoid exposure to humid air or heavy rain because the seed of the cashews will be damp and germinate quickly. After drying, you can put them in plastic bags and store them in a cool, dry place. Also, do not place the packaging directly on the ground or bricks or cement because moisture will affect the cashews.
2. How to Store Fresh Cashews with Shell (Raw Cashew Nuts with Shell)
Fresh cashew nuts with shells can be stored for up to a year. First, thoroughly dry the nuts, ensuring the moisture is below 10 – 11%. Drying cashew nuts in the sun is an effective traditional method. But you should do it properly to avoid spoiling the nuts. Make sure the cashew nuts are not damp when dried in the sun. Remember that drying cashew nuts in the sun also requires controlling the drying time. Because too long can cause the cashew nuts to spoil. Pay attention to the weather conditions to choose the most suitable drying time. Then package them carefully for storage in a dry and airy place.
3. How to Store White Cashews
The best way to preserve white cashews (raw cashews after removing the kernel from the shell) is to dry or roast them with salt. If you want to use them in a short time, you can wash them, drain them and store them in the refrigerator. However, if you leave them for a long time, they will easily become bitter due to the resin seeping into the kernel. You can process raw cashews into many delicious and attractive dishes such as making cashew milk or salad. Therefore, do not ignore the above preservation tips to keep the ingredients in the best condition.
More details on how to preserve cashews:
- Avoid exposure to high temperatures: You should store cashews at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or high temperatures.
- Limit exposure to air: Air can make cashews moldy. Always cover the jar tightly after use.
- Do not keep them for too long: Even if you carefully preserve cashews, they should not be kept for too long. It is best to use up within a short period to ensure the best flavor.
Additional ways of storage White Cashews
Vacuum packing is the optimal method for preserving cashews for a long time. While it still maintains the quality. By removing air and moisture from the packaging, you can preserve the quality and nutrition of the cashews. Use a home vacuum sealer to package cashews and store them in a cool, dry place.
Storing processed cashews, such as salted roasted cashews or buttered cashews, is especially important. You need to pack them in a lidded box or sealed bag to avoid exposure to air and loss of flavor. In addition, limit the proximity of cashews to other odor sources to avoid odor absorption and spoilage.
A refrigerator is an effective method for preserving cashews for a short time while still maintaining their flavor and crunchiness. Place the cashews in the refrigerator and pack them tightly in a plastic box or zip bag. Make sure to check and use the cashews within a short time to avoid losing the flavor and quality of the product.
