According to Lotte Mart on the 18th, nut sales in the first half of this year increased by 15.3% compared to the previous year. In particular, cashew nut sales this month rose by 31.1% compared to the same period last year. Cashew nuts are widely used as a representative vegan ingredient to replace animal protein such as milk, in products like cashew nut milk, cream, and butter.
Lotte Mart is introducing 'crispy-shelled cashew nuts' directly sourced from Vietnam. The biggest feature is that they can be consumed with the shell intact, providing a crunchier texture than regular cashew nuts.
