Liquid sweetener from cashew apple could replace sugar in your diet

Cashew apple, a by-product of cashew, is largely under-utilised. Despite being abundant (apple-to-nut ratio ~8–10:1 by weight), only an estimated 10–15% of cashew apples are processed in India. The fruit is highly perishable and astringent due to tannins. Over 80% of apples are wasted annually due to lack of proper processing technology and cold chains.
