Common Cashew Nut Grades & Characteristics

Cashew nuts are graded primarily by kernel size, which affects both price and application. The grades W320, W240, and W180 indicate different kernel counts per pound and varying levels of wholesomeness:

• W320: Known as “extra large” kernels, typically containing about 320 cashew kernels per pound. They feature minimal broken pieces and are preferred for snack packs and retail packaging due to their attractive size and appearance.
• W240: Medium-large kernels with roughly 240 kernels per pound. They strike a balance between size and cost, suitable for culinary uses and blending in processed food industries.
• W180: Larger whole kernels, approximately 180 per pound, often chosen for premium gourmet markets or specialized applications requiring large whole nuts.

Each grade is selected based on kernel integrity, moisture content, and absence of defects such as black spots or insect damage, ensuring consistent quality for export markets.

Nutritional & Technical Properties

Cashew nuts are celebrated not only for their delightful taste and crunch but also for their rich nutritional profile, including:

• High-quality plant-based protein
• Healthy monounsaturated fats beneficial for heart health
• Essential minerals such as magnesium, copper, and zinc
• Vitamins including B-complex group and antioxidants

Our cashew nuts undergo minimal processing to preserve their natural benefits. Roasted variants offer enhanced flavor and aroma while maintaining nutritional integrity.

Harvesting and Production Process

The cashew nut production cycle in Tanzania begins with manual harvesting of ripe cashew apples to obtain the nut in its shell. Nuts then undergo drying to reduce moisture and prevent spoilage. Subsequent shelling, peeling, grading, and quality inspections ensure the final product meets international export standards.

Roasting is performed under controlled conditions to enhance taste and texture without compromising quality. The final packaging in sturdy boxes protects the nuts during transit to global customers.

Packaging and Export Standards

Cashew nuts destined for export are packed according to industry best practices to ensure freshness and safety. Typical export packaging includes:

• Sealed polyethylene bags within corrugated cardboard boxes
• Standardized net weights such as 20kg or 25kg boxes for ease of handling and shipping
• Labels detailing grade, origin, and batch information for traceability

Strict adherence to grading, moisture content limits, and absence of contaminants ensures compliance with international food safety and quality regulations.
