Use & preparation
Storage & shelf life
Store nuts and seeds in a cool, dark place in a tightly closed container. Make sure that the container is as airtight as possible so that moisture is kept away from the nuts. You can also freeze nuts and seeds, which will extend their shelf life by several months.

OUATTARA OUO CLEMENTINE
FARMER FROM TOUSSIANA, BURKINA FASO
I prefer organic because chemicals are expensive and not sustainable.
Ouattara Ouo Clementine has around 30 hectares of land, 18 of which she uses to grow her own food. "I grow maize, beans and peanuts. We also have goats, cattle and chickens." For Ouattara Ouo Clementine, providing for her family is a daily challenge. "I have six children, three boys and three girls. They help me in the fields when they're not busy with school or work. I hope they'll all become independent and have a better future than I do."
Background
Cashews without detours
We process our cashews where they grow: in Burkina Faso. Unfortunately, this is a rarity in the global trade in these tasty kernels.
