Roasted cashew pieces from gebana Burkina Faso are the only ingredient for this cashew butter. The fragments are created when cracking the hard shell and peeling off the thin skin of the cashews. The smaller the fragments, the harder it is to sell them, so processing them into butter creates more value.

Use & preparation

Use as a topping for porridge, muesli or pancakes
The butter can also be used for baking. For example in these cardamom cashew biscuits.
Use in savoury dishes to thicken and refine sauces, dips or salad dressings. For example in this cashew dip.

KONE DJO

FARMER FROM DAN, BURKINA FASO

I eat the cashew apple. Preferably raw!

"I farm three hectares of land with corn, niébé and cashews. My mother-in-law, my brother-in-law and my children help me with the field work," explains Kone Djo. It is difficult to find farm workers, she says. "I notice that more and more people are going to school or to the city. This means there are fewer people to help with the harvest." Kone Djo would like to acquire farming equipment to make her work easier. “Whether it's a tractor or a plough, anything would help us work more efficiently."
