This may be a silly question @hanno but it's been a while since I've been to the CM - any particular store I should look for? Thanks again!

The stall is outside the market, location here:

It is actually right at the South/West corner of Central Market. l also used to buy chestnuts there. The cashew nuts are roasted and vacuum packed 500 g and 1 kg, around $10 per kg.
Beeing an addict, I used to buy the cashew nuts unroasted out of a 20 kg bag for just under $10 /kg from a lady inside Phsar Kandal at one of the dry goods stalls (coffee etc). Or from a stall on street 148 near street 5 opposite the fish mongers. I used to roast them myself in the gas stove for 5 minutes but you have to be careful to take them out at the just right time before they get too dark.

Yes, it's nasty stuff for sure.

They are a very wasteful thing to grow

In terms of their environmental impact cashews are quite water intensive. It takes around 6450 litres of water to produce 1 pound of cashew nuts!

I am a cashew Junkie. My local dealer on Street 39MC corner unknown (search for Sweet Salon on Google Maps) sells 500g for 13k. Roasted, not salted, all broken (hence the price), but good quality. I need to stock up at least once a week there...

What's with this combining metric and imperial measurements in one sentence? Isn't life complicated enough?

Are you serious ? Cashew nut trees almost don't need water to grow. Plant a tree even in october at the end of the rainy season and it'll survive the next 5-6 months without watering it. It's one of the easiest crop to grow here in Cambodia, you just have to prune your trees every year. The harvest is quite hard though.

Honestly other than almond trees I don't think there's another nut crop that uses as much water. Have a look at the water usage table at the page https://greenecofriend.co.uk/how-eco-fr ... hew%20nuts!

California has a huge water deficit due to the farming of similar crops, there's a good chance that the mekong delta could suffer the same fate as the chinese are creating dams upstream which will result in less water for lower lying countries.
