Production & Sourcing
Pasteurized cashew pieces are made through a multi-step process. First, the cashews are carefully shelled to extract the edible nut. The nuts are then cleaned and sorted to remove any impurities. Next, they undergo a pasteurization process, which involves exposing them to heat to eliminate any potential pathogens or contaminants. This step is crucial for ensuring food safety. After pasteurization, the cashews are cooled and dried to the desired moisture level.
