Cashews have become popular throughout the world for their delicate flavour and extraordinary health benefits. They’re rich in nutrients and can be used in a variety of ways. They’ve been linked to benefits like weight loss, improved blood sugar control, and a healthier heart. Manufacturers always sell cashews in their shelled state, as part of the shell contains a resin that is not safe for consumption. The kernel is the principal and most important commercial product of cashew tree and is therefore essential to the selection process in projects for the genetic improvement of the crop. The fact that the kernel is enclosed in the nut makes it impossible to use it directly in the evaluation and selection of genotypes.
