Extraction of Cashew oil is a process which takes lots of time and energy because most of the process is done manually meaning with hands. Starting from taking out the nut from the fruit(i.e the Cashew Apple). which after will be roasted because the nut cannot be consumed raw, after roasting then it would be dried by any means either with the oven or any other form of drying. After this process, few of the shell oil is a bit eliminated (because the shell is very harmful to the human health and dangerous for the skin, more reason why it is advisable for anybody doing the processing to cover their skin to avoid the Nut Shell oil penetration) and it gets the shell fragile and easy to break, after the shell is cracked with a mallet or all other devices used to cut off, then the nut taken out.
