Finished Cashew Products
In addition to raw kernels, Vietnam also exports various finished cashew products to meet consumer demand.
Salted Roasted Cashews
These cashews are roasted with a special salt ratio, offering a crunchy texture and balanced flavor. They come in two types: with skin and without skin.
Wood-Fired Roasted Cashews
Roasted using cashew wood, these nuts have a unique, smoky flavor. This traditional roasting method enhances the natural taste, making them highly sought after internationally.
Butter Roasted Cashews
Butter roasted cashews are favored for their rich, sweet taste. This variant is especially popular among younger consumers but has a shorter shelf life due to the use of butter.
Flavored Cashews
Vietnamese cashews are also available in various flavors, including wasabi, honey, chocolate, and garlic chili, catering to diverse consumer preferences.
