Part 5/12:
To remove surface dirt and contaminants, cashew nuts are subjected to specialized washing equipment that can handle high-volume production. Utilizing clean water, the nuts are thoroughly rinsed, often involving agitation or scrubbing to dislodge stubborn particles. After a thorough rinse, draining mechanisms extract excess water ensuring the nuts remain dry. In some facilities, an additional drying step may follow to eliminate any residual moisture.
