Caju dishes generally offer a blend of savory, sweet, and sometimes spicy flavors, depending on the preparation method. The cashew nut itself provides a creamy, slightly sweet base.
The flavor profile of Caju varies based on the dish. Roasted cashews offer a nutty, toasted flavor. In stews or curries, the cashews absorb the flavors of the spices and other ingredients, creating a rich and complex taste. Sugar-coated cashews (Caju Glaceado) are sweet and crunchy. In savory dishes the nuts' creamy texture and subtle sweetness contrast with the spices, creating balance and depth.

Roasting Cashews
To enhance the flavor of cashews, roast them in a dry pan over medium heat until lightly golden brown. Be careful not to burn them. Allow to cool before using. Roasting brings out the nutty flavor.
Soaking Cashews
Soaking cashews in water for a few hours before using them in recipes can soften them and make them easier to blend or incorporate into sauces, especially in vegetarian or vegan cooking.
Storing Cashews
Store cashews in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to prevent them from becoming rancid. Cashews can also be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for longer shelf life.
