Full of benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to the startup, Brazil alone wastes some 2.2 million tons of cashew fruits every year. Only about 12% of the cashew fruits are processed – of those, primary uses include juice extraction, making fresh and dried fruit, jams, wines, candies, and animal feed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Founders <\/span>Alana Lima and Felipe Barreneche are first generation immigrants from Brazil and Colombia who began exploring possible uses for the cashew nut\u2019s biowaste. The pair discovered the fruit’s fibers offer excellent nutritional benefits, including fat, fiber, minerals, protein, tannins, and vitamin C. The cashew apple also reportedly helps fight inflammation, protects brain health, and supports healthy blood sugar levels. <\/span><\/p>\n

Caj\u00fa Love features simple ingredients and a dense, shredded texture that is quick and easy to prepare. <\/span>Since launching in 2021, the company reports it has sustainably upcycled over 105,000 cashew apples. For every 200g pack of organic cashew fruit meat, five cashew fruits are upcycled. <\/span><\/p>\n

“New staple”<\/strong><\/h2>\n

“Cashew fruit meat has the potential to feed a growing population without putting pressure on the environment,\u201d says Alana Lima, founder of <\/span>Caj\u00fa Love<\/span>. \u201cCaj\u00fa Love has been a pioneer in the upcycled food movement by creating a new plant-based staple from upcycled cashew fruits. We have built a new supply chain system to upcycle cashew apples that helps conserve energy in food production, reduce food waste, soil exploitation and water usage, and provides an additional income stream for local farmers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
