What Are Raw Cashews?

Raw Cashew Nuts (also known as RCN) is the name for the sub-nut of the cashew fruit.

Cashew apples make up 90% of the fruit, only 10% are raw cashews. So every 8-10 tons of cashews, we will get about 1 ton of raw cashews. In a raw cashew nut contains 30% cashew kernel and 70% cashew nut shell. Normally in the production of cashew nuts, 1 ton of raw cashew nuts can be processed 250-300 kg of cashew kernels and 700-750 kg of cashew shells.

Previously, only raw cashew nuts (RCN) and cashew kernels (cashew kernels) were used as commercial products in the Vietnamese cashew industry, while cashew shells were considered waste.
