Frozen Cashew Apple
Itaueira commercializes frozen, nutless cashew apple, mainly for use as raw material in juices and pulps.

The cashew apple is hand-reaped, one by one, directly from the tree, at the right ripening time and has its nut removed individually, before being hygienized, frozen and packed with the brand GAIA.

The frozen GAIA cashew apple has no agrotoxics and does not make any contact with the soil or any other impurities, and has more sugar and less tannin than conventional cashew apple, providing a higher quality pulp without need of using additives for its conservation.

The frozen cashew apple is placed into plastic bags with 10 kg of frozen cashew apple, and these bags are placed, 4 by 4, into raffia bags with brand GAIA, and palletized. Each pallet contains 1,080 kg of frozen cashew apple. Its commercialization is made in form of contracts, before the beginning of the harvest.
