harvesting cashews plant to plate Indian Garden part 2

Hello, community and all hive gardeners from all around the world greetings. Hope all are doing well and working hard in the gardens or farms. wishing you all the best in the coming season. Here is small photo story about our harvesting cashew from our Indian garden.
Having a big garden is quite complicated in that area because of a very little source of helping hands. We have our permanent gardener but he wasn't enough for our garden and extra help from outside is not so easy people are not interested in temporary work. So many things we have to manage ourselves. So we do. In this season we harvest around 80-85 kilos of cashew nuts. which grows 100% organic and wild we don't need to take care of them only before start flowering they need some trimming. Even though they are organic, converting them into cashew kernels was very hard work Most of the nuts we sold to cashew factory and few kilos we kept for use for our use they are very good in taste and very delicious. here is the story of cashew from plant to plate

They grow a little strange the fruit has a seed outside. We pick the fruits if we make juice. The juice from plum/fruit is very tasty and has many health benefits. or can eaten like normal fruit

Mostly they fall on the ground some overripen and some are eaten by different birds.

Each morning I and my husband @eolianpariah2 collect those fruits. If we keep them for next day the mosquitoes and fruit flies grow very fast they like the juicy fruits.

we have to separate nuts and plums.

In some places, they used to make cashew liquor called cashew fenny mostly in Goa the next state. But our area is forbidden for liquor.
so after taking cashew nuts, the plums go directly into the compost.

After need to wash out all dried leaves and sand from the nuts.

Dried in the sun. ready for sale vi should take it to a market where agents buy it for the factory delivery.

some of them going to fire.

While firing must be taken care the oil from cashew is very bad for the skin with the distance this work has been done.

they are having less oil after being burnt.

then kept them for some hour before breaking them.

The next process is to break them and take kernels carefully without spreading oil around them.

here is the final product. But wait

it is not finished to get the market quality they should peel. and for that, I put them in the oven on 100C for 15 minutes. and they are peeled and edible.
But after that my hands were rough and skin was peeling. Not a serious problem.
