Cashews: The steps involved in extracting and preparing the cashew nut is truly a patient process.

On the tree, a single cashew nut dangles below each fruit. Once ripe, the fruit and nuts fall from the tree. Since the pulp from the fruit often gets onto the nut when it falls, they are usually washed and sundried first.

My friend had spent a couple weeks gradually collecting the nuts as they fell. By the time I arrived at the farm she had already collected a substantial amount.

We asked one of the experienced farm staff from the Dumagat tribe to teach us how to extract the edible nut from the shell. He explained that there is a sticky substance inside the shell which is actually acidic and can burn your skin. In his community, they traditionally put this substance on their skin to aid healing when they get cuts. But we were encouraged to wear gloves for protection.

While our experienced farm staff halved the shells, the other two of us used whittled bamboo sticks to pick out the nuts.

We then toasted the nuts over hot fire. Once cooled, we removed the skin as they are quite bitter. By this time, we had a small group around the kitchen table peeling the skins together. Processing nuts is truly a community affair.

Since it was also meryenda time, our rule of thumb was that for every cashew we put into the jar, we could put one into our mouths. Only fair, right?

In the end, we managed to almost fill a big jar and now appreciate why cashews are often so expensive. My friend later made a delicious rice pilaf with fresh coconut milk sprinkled with these freshly toasted cashews.

Kasoy sa rurok ng Antipolo. Suman and cashews are big up here so we made a pitstop sa palengke, and at Perly’s pasalubong where I learned cashews come from a “stub” sticking out of the cashew fruit (my term for it). A wooden replica hangs in Mam Perly’s stall. About P100 ($2) per cup.
