Mathisens Integrerings Service

Mathisens Integrerings Service is based in Norway and lists cashew nuts on Global Trade Plaza. The product is the kernel of the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale L.), a tropical species cultivated for its nut and pseudofruit. The kernels must be extracted from their poisonous shells and roasted to destroy residual toxins. About 30-40% of kernels are discarded during roasting and used as livestock feed. The red testa skins removed in final processing may contain broken kernel pieces also used as feed. Other noted uses include leaves for food, timber for firewood and charcoal, and shells as a heat source for Cashew Nut Shell Liquid production. Buyers can send an enquiry through Global Trade Plaza.
