Some cashew nuts or cashew pieces are stained or slightly wrinkled. Though this doesn’t affect their taste, we can’t export them. We process these cashews into a kind of flour, which is called “mugu” in the local language.

Use & preparation

Storage & shelf life

Cashew flour can only be kept for a few months. It’s important to protect the flour from moisture and air. Ideally, transfer the flour into sealable jars or airtight plastic containers and consume it quickly. Alternatively, you can freeze the flour in airtight packaging and store it for longer. Let the frozen flour thaw before use.

BARRO DOSSOU

FARMER FROM TOUSSIANA, BURKINA FASO

In another life, I would have loved to be a blacksmith!

"I'm the head of a family of two wives and nine children," says Barro Dossou. "If the yields are high, you can earn a good income from farming. This is very important to me because I want to secure my children's future. I use the money to build houses that I could also rent out if necessary." The farmer would like to have more influence on the price of his goods. "The price of my products is set by the buyers. But I would also like to have a say."
