Explaining why we’re crazy about cashews is easy- not only was it part of our family heritage, but they’re incredibly delicious too! But what about our flavours? They’re what make the products the snacks we all know and love! First, let’s start with the classic Lake Natron Salt and Pepper. We don’t just use any salt in this flavour- we...

Yesterday was 29th July 2021. For those who don’t know, it was Earth Overshoot day. What is Earth Overshoot day?

What a year. We can’t wait until things can return to at least some form of normality, and we’re hoping that 2021 will be a lot better than 2020 for everyone. At Cajuu we’ve been trying to keep ourselves busy, so here are some things we’ve been doing during the last year!

That’s right!  In addition to our cashew nuts being ethically sourced and locally processed we have made another commitment on the path to complete sustainability with our new 100% plastic free and recyclable packaging.   We’ve spent a while in our quest for the best solution with many heated debates between the team members; where will the new packaging be sourced...

We have so many similarities however there’s one thing that definitely links us all – we need to eat!  Whether it’s in front of a laptop, TV or in the garden with family, we need sustenance to get us through the day.    Now more than ever we also need foods and drinks that are good for us, to prevent...
