Cashew

Transport packaging: cellophane
Packaging that looks like plastic
but it's not plastic.

Cellophane is the common name for cellophane.
Cellular glass is a purely natural product made from the renewable raw material cellulose (usually broken wood).

Cellular glass is 100% biodegradable, compostable and dissolves completely without leaving any residue. Cellular glass is also suitable for allergy sufferers and MCS sufferers. Cellular glass is food-safe and contains no plasticizers or coatings.

A thin, colorless and transparent viscose film with the characteristic crackle effect is made from cellophane. This is then used to make our block bottom bags.

Cellular glass is breathable, permeable to water vapor, tasteless and odorless.

The production costs of cellophane block bottom bags are relatively high.
However, if you take into account the follow-up costs compared to eliminating plastic bags,
The cellophane bags perform well.

Why steam treated?
In their natural state, cashews are covered in a hard, inedible shell.
The core itself is once again with one
dark brown skin.
Before processing, the shell and the nut it contains are treated with steam.
This brief heating of the bowl will
those contained in these,
highly corrosive white liquid is largely neutralized.
This liquid burns the skin if you come into contact with it. However, the steam treatment beforehand means that the workers are spared many wounds during peeling or, if the white liquid gets into their eyes, it can even lead to blindness.
The nut kernel itself is not affected.
In the countries of origin, hand peeling is often carried out by socially disadvantaged families, including their children. We want to prevent that.
We have therefore decided to only offer cashew nuts that have been previously heated with steam.
