Dry Fruits

The almond fruit is classed botanically as a drupe, with a pubescent exocarp (skin), a fleshy but thin mesocarp (hull), and a distinct hardened endocarp (shell). The mesocarp undergoes only limited enlargement during development, becoming dry and leathery, and dehiscing at maturity.

Baheda helps to manage loss of appetite, thirst, bloating and flatulence. This is due to its Ushna (hot) potency. Baheda enhances the Pachak Agni (digestive fire) which helps in digesting the food easily. It also helps to manage constipation due to its Rechana (laxative) nature.

Split cashew nuts, or "kaju splits," are whole cashew kernels that have been broken into pieces during processing, retaining their creamy, buttery flavor and texture. They are a cost-effective and versatile ingredient used in cooking, baking, garnishes, and snack mixes where appearance is less critical than with whole cashews. Split cashews offer the same nutritional benefits as whole ones, providing healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals

A raw cashew is the unprocessed, kidney-shaped seed of the cashew tree, Anacardium occidentale, encased in a hard shell containing toxic oil. It is the stage before the edible cashew kernel and is characterized by its greyish-brown, natural shell and greyish-brown shell. Raw cashews must be processed (typically roasted) to remove the toxic shell, making them edible. 

A cashew is the seed of a kidney-shaped fruit that grows from a cashew apple on the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale), a native of Brazil. The "nut" is protected by a double-layered shell containing a toxic oil that requires careful processing to remove, resulting in the edible, creamy-white kernel prized as a popular snack and ingredient. Rich in nutrients like copper and magnesium, cashews are consumed raw, roasted, salted, or used in sweet and savory dishes, while the fleshy cashew apple is used for drinks and preserves.
