This is how cashew fruit liquor is made in India. #cashews #alcohol #India

[@Samouraii]

I never knew Cashew Nuts came from a fruit!

[@freddybob807]

The fruit is called cashew

[@bets3386]

Is really good and has a lot of vitamin c

[@NayagarhSensei]

No, the cashew is the actual fruit , the cashew apple is called a pseudocarp or false fruit.

[@CaioCesarDNobre]

I'm from where cashews are natives.

[@gauravghosh6047]

I also thought that it came from grocery store

[@ionutandanuta7607]

if you think this drink is gross I have to remind you that horses are used to make tequila

[@livewiiiiire]

And it gets boiled to a high temperature for an extended period of time

[@lazer2521]

They're not stomping in the fruit though. They're used to make the juices come out of agaves. Not only that, but equines aren't used in the production of tequila. Horses and mules are used to make mezcal. Mezcal isn't tequila. The horse or mule is used to spin a grinding wheel over the agave, with the fruit pit and the horse being separated by a wall. This isn't even close to the same thing.

[@I-Love-Tax-Evading]

That doesn't make this any better

[@thepurplepenguin3206]

Cashew juice is actually delicious! Idk about this whole stomping thing but I’ll try anything once!

[@KB-therealestone]

Lol. I guess that's where the saying "you put your foot in it" comes from. Lol. When food is really good, people say " you put your foot in this!" Lol. I guess that means you put a lot of effort into the food and it tastes really good.

[@Hitical_Crit]

Why are people so grossed out by this? Its alcohol, aint nothing surviving in that. This is how people make wine too

[@Cookie-jb3xd]

They made whine like this 400 years ago

One of the most delicious and dangerous drinks 😂. In west Africa, caju juice and alcohol are very popular. Especially in my home country guiné-bissau. So many people gave their life away to this drink.

[@charlottedavies7910]

I love cashews however it saddens me knowing the workers who shell cashews end up with burns covering their hands due to an acid in the shell.

[@ggyggg2272]

They used clean boots to crush the cashew friut.

[@charlottedavies7910]

@@ggyggg2272 I'm not talking about the fruit. The shell of the nut is usually cracked open by a machine and then the nuts are separated and removed by hand

[@Ronin-bt1fj]

Thats why they use the thing called Gloves

[@charlottedavies7910]

​@@Ronin-bt1fjbut they don't, that's why the women end up with burns on their hands. I'm pretty sure Insider did a longer video on the process, feel free to look it up.

[@superplaylists1616]

Im in Brazil, we have packaged cashew juice, and the ones ive drank are good. The juice is a bit more on the neutral and watery side, but its still quite refreshing and has a sweet taste that comes from the cashew. It's not bad.

[@kewalsawant7004]

In Goa we call it Hurrak.. jungle juice.. and it’s very good..!

[@lukehaworth5789]

Did nobody else notice that knee cap? I thought my creeky old knees were bad ffs 😂😂

[@itsmalden13]

No one noticed the dudes kneecap was in shin

[@medmark77]

You can't get 45% alcohol without distillation. The open air fermentation might get as high as 18%, but no higher.

[@AnimeBee25]

Guys It's steam distilled. Why grossing out 😂

[@oldmonk_]

The one you are watching is how they make this cashew liquor locally. That's like a small family selling a small batch to the locals. They don't need huge machines for that. I mean would you invest in a costly machine to sell a small batch to the locals? But the ones that are sold to other states are made in factories and they use the machines because clearly you can't stomp the cashew juice out of 100 kgs of cashew fruits.

[@middleclassic]

This looks absolutely gross. But knowing this is a distilled liquor it is sterile by that point. Plus the high amount of alcohol and yea, nothing to worry about except watching the way it’s made.

[@shubhampahurkar00]

Actually , the cashew nut after stomping naturally secretes some acid which kills all the pathogens and it is also distilled later . PS : majority of producers in Goa have shifted to machines now

Excellent. J'en ai beaucoup mangé plus jeune mais la noix demande beaucoup de précautions en l'enlevant au risque de se brûler. Après en avoir consommé il y a des aliments à éviter car leur association est mortel. Par exemple, la banane et le lait il y en a d'autres qui ne me reviennent pas.
