The production of nuts begins on the farm, where trees are planted and nurtured for several years before they begin to bear fruit.
Once the trees begin to produce nuts, they are harvested, typically by shaking the branches of the tree or using mechanical harvesters.
After harvest, the nuts are cleaned, sorted, and graded based on their size, quality, and appearance.
Next, the nuts are processed, which may include cracking the shells, roasting, blanching, and packaging.
Throughout the production process, quality control measures are in place to ensure that the nuts meet strict food safety standards and are free from contaminants.
Finally, the nuts are distributed to markets and retailers, where they are sold to consumers for use in a variety of culinary applications, including baking, snacking, and cooking.
