1. Different processing methods: Charred cashews are a processing method of carbonizing cashews at high temperature. This processing method usually includes putting cashews into an oven or charcoal oven for processing. Cashew nuts will become more brittle and taste better after high temperature charcoal burning. Cashew nut with skin is the whole dried cashew nut without any treatment, and its natural color and nutrients are retained. Compared with common peeled cashews, cashews with skins also have some differences in taste and nutritional components.
2. Different smoky smells: Charred cashews usually produce a strong smoky smell, which will bring more layers to cashews. In some baking recipes, the smoky smell of charcoal roasted cashews can be used as seasoning to add flavor to baked food. For cashews with skin, because there is no processing such as charcoal burning, there is no smoky smell of charcoal roasted cashews.
3. Different nutritional components: There are also some differences in nutritional components between charcoal roasted cashews and cashews with skins. Although charcoal roasted cashews can retain some nutrients during processing, vitamins and some nutrients may be lost due to exposure to high temperature during processing. Even without any treatment, cashew nuts with skin retain complete nutrients, and its cellulose content can play a better role in health preservation.
