Frequently Asked Questions

Are whole cashews the same as raw cashews?+
Yes, in the context of Classic Cashew Whole Raw, "whole" means the cashews are largely intact kernels, and "raw" means they haven't been roasted or seasoned. They are mechanically shelled and then typically steamed to make them edible, but not roasted, maintaining their natural, uncooked state. This distinction is important for applications like making cashew milk or creams where you want to start from an unroasted base.
How do you prepare raw cashews for eating?+
For most culinary uses Classic Cashew Whole Raw, you'd typically soak them. Soaking them in warm water for 30 minutes to a few hours, or cold water overnight, makes them softer and easier to blend into smooth textures for sauces, creams, or nut milks. If you're using them in baking or as a snack, you can roast them in an oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 8-15 minutes until lightly golden, which brings out their buttery flavour.
How to use raw cashews in cooking?+
Classic Cashew Whole Raw are incredibly versatile in cooking. Many chefs use them to create creamy, dairy-free sauces for pasta or curries after soaking and blending. They can be roasted and added to stir-fries, salads, or used as a crunchy garnish for main dishes. For baking, they are a fantastic ingredient for making vegan cheesecakes, energy bars, or as a base for nut tarts due to their rich, buttery texture.
Can you use raw cashews for cashew milk?+
Absolutely, Classic Cashew Whole Raw are ideal for making cashew milk. The raw, unroasted state means the cashews will blend into a smoother, creamier consistency without imparting a toasted flavour. Simply soak the cashews overnight or in hot water for a quicker process, then blend with water in a high-speed blender. You can then strain the mixture through a nut milk bag for a super smooth, dairy-free alternative for coffee or recipes.
What are raw cashews?+
Raw cashews, like the Classic 1.5KG offering, are cashew nuts that have been minimally processed after harvesting. While labelled "raw," they undergo a steaming process to remove the toxic shell liquid (urushiol) which makes them safe to eat. They retain their soft texture, mild, buttery flavour, and are not roasted, fried, or seasoned, making them a neutral base for a wide range of savoury and sweet culinary applications in a professional kitchen.
How to store raw cashew nuts?+
To maximize the shelf life and preserve the quality of Classic Cashew Whole Raw, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dark, dry place, like a pantry or cool storage room. For longer-term storage, especially in warmer climates or for bulk quantities, refrigerating or freezing them is best. This helps prevent the natural oils from going rancid, keeping them fresh for extended periods for your kitchen's needs.
How to store Classic Cashew Whole Raw for maximum shelf life?+
For maximum shelf life of your Classic Cashew Whole Raw, keep them in their original resealable packaging or transfer them to another airtight container immediately after opening. Store them in a cool, dark, and dry environment to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption. For commercial kitchens in Alberta buying larger quantities, storing them in the refrigerator or freezer will significantly extend their freshness and prevent the fats from becoming rancid, ensuring consistent quality for your dishes.
How to clean equipment after using Classic Cashew Whole Raw?+
Cleaning equipment after using Classic Cashew Whole Raw is straightforward. For blenders or food processors used to make cashew creams or milks, rinse immediately with warm water to prevent residue from drying and sticking. Then, wash with hot, soapy water, paying attention to blades and seals to remove any oily film. Ensure all equipment is thoroughly dried before next use to prevent bacterial growth, following standard food safety protocols in your kitchen.
What is the typical yield of Classic Whole Raw Cashews for commercial use?+
The yield of Classic Cashew Whole Raw, 1.5KG, is excellent for various commercial applications due to their whole format. For example, if you're making cashew milk, 1 cup of cashews typically yields about 4 cups of milk, meaning a 1.5KG bag provides a substantial volume for café or institutional use. For sauces, a single bag can produce enough base for dozens of portions, depending on the richness desired, making them a very efficient ingredient for high-volume kitchens.
What is the shelf life of Classic Whole Raw Cashews, both sealed and after opening?+
When sealed and stored properly in a cool, dry place, Classic Cashew Whole Raw can maintain quality for up to 12-18 months, depending on the 'best before' date on the packaging. Once opened, it's best to reseal the bag tightly or transfer the cashews to an airtight container. If refrigerated, they can stay fresh for several months, while freezing can extend their usability to over a year, crucial for busy Canadian food service operations managing inventory.
