Did you know?

It is not related to black pepper but is the dried fruit of a tree in the cashew family. Its husk is sweetish and resinous while the seed is faintly pungent. ⚠️ Because it belongs to the same family as pistachio and mango, it can provoke reactions in people sensitive to that group.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
