Sunshine Nut cashews are grown, processed and retail packed in Mozambique, creating extra value to provide jobs, improve incomes and support local communities in one of Africa’s poorest and most troubled countries. They are fresh and crunchy because they are processed and retail packed close to the farms, and shipped direct to Europe – unlike most other cashews from Africa that are processed in Asia.  They are currently available in the UK in 4 flavours: salty, herby, spicy and plain. Cashews are also healthy, containing protein, minerals for brain health and immunity, good fats, and are anti-bacterial

The main reasons for buying Sunshine Nut cashews:
  • they are healthy: protein, minerals for brain health and immunity, good fats, anti-bacterial
  • they are tasty: great flavours, super fresh & crunchy because the journey from plant to mouth is so much shorter than for other cashews
