Abstract:
Cashew Feni unlike Indian Made
Foreign Liquor (IMFL) viz.; Brandy,
Whisky, Rum, Gin etc, is not made by
blending of spirits but is distilled
exclusively from the pure fermented
juice of cashew apples, without addition
of any extraneous matter. Similarly,
coconut feni is a product distilled from
pure coconut taddy.
It is estimated that about 22 lakhs
tonnes of cashew apple fruits are
available in the country. Most of the
fruits are at present wasted and
practically not utilised by the industry in
any of the cashew growing tracts in India
except Goa where it is used in the
preparation of alcoholic beverages
‘FENI’. In order to utilise the large
quantity of cashew apple being produced
by the growers.
