The history of cashew in Indonesia is intertwined with the spread of cashew trees across different regions and the development of cashew nut cultivation.
The cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) is native to Brazil, but it was brought to other parts of the world by European traders and colonists. The Portuguese explorers are believed to have introduced the cashew tree to the Indian subcontinent during the 16th century. From there, the cashew tree was further propagated to Southeast Asia, including Indonesia.
Cashew Trees were introduced in the 17th or 18th century during the colonial period. The Dutch East India Company (VOC) was one of the dominant colonial powers in the Indonesian archipelago at that time, and they played a significant role in bringing various crops, including cashews, from their colonies to Indonesia.
The cashew tree found a suitable environment in parts of Indonesia, especially in regions with tropical and subtropical climates. Today, cashew trees are grown in several provinces across the country, including East Java, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, and South Sulawesi, among others.
Taste and Flavor: Indonesian cashews are known for their rich, buttery flavor and mildly sweet taste. They are often roasted or processed to enhance their flavor, making them a popular snack both domestically and for export.
Size and Shape: Indonesian cashews are typically medium to large in size and have a distinct kidney or “heart” shape. The cashew nut is attached to a cashew apple, which is a pear-shaped fruit that is edible but not as widely consumed as the nut.
Culinary Use: Indonesian cashews are widely used in both sweet and savory dishes. They can be added to curries, stir-fries, salads, and desserts. Cashew nuts are also used to make cashew butter, a creamy and nutritious spread.
Varieties: Indonesia cultivates several varieties of cashews, each with its own unique characteristics in terms of taste, size, and shape. Some popular varieties include W320, W240, and SW320, which refer to different grades and sizes of cashews.
