==History==
Cashews were first brought to India by the Portuguese, who planted them along the coasts of Goa to prevent erosion. Original exported in oil cans, it was found that this method could lead to weevil infestation and it was replaced by storing the kernels in cans infused with carbon dioxide. This method, known as "Vita Packing", is still in use today.
The health benefits and value of cashew nut were discovered much later. The trees adapted very well to their new home, especially in Kerala and by the late 16th century cashew nuts had reached Kollam, then known as Quilon, a city under the control of the Portuguese.
During the time of the Portuguese, Dutch and British in the Indian subcontinent, Quilon and its old port were major business hubs for Arabian and Chinese traders. Many of the cashew businesses in Kollam are family owned and run.
