Common Varieties and Grades
Cashew kernels are typically graded according to size, color, and splitting. The “Big Size” attribute refers to kernels that are larger in diameter and often classified as whole or wholes. Common industrial grades include:
- W320 – Whole kernels with approximately 320 pieces per pound
- W240 – Larger kernels with about 240 pieces per pound

The AFI (Agmark Food Institute) standard ensures food safety and consistent quality in Indian cashew exports. Our kernels meet these stringent benchmarks for raw cashew nuts.
Nutritional and Technical Properties
Cashew nuts are a rich source of nutrients and beneficial compounds:
- High in healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats such as oleic and linoleic acids
- Excellent protein source
- Contains essential vitamins (E, K, B-complex) and minerals such as magnesium, copper, and zinc
- Natural antioxidants aiding in heart health and immune support
The drying process preserves the kernels’ integrity and shelf life while maintaining a fresh, crisp texture.
Harvesting and Production Process
Cashew nuts are harvested from the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) primarily in India and other tropical regions. After harvesting the cashew apples and attached nuts, the nuts are separated and undergo several processing steps:
- Shelling to remove the hard outer shells carefully without damaging kernels
- Drying to reduce moisture content and prevent mold development
- Grading and sorting by size and quality
- Packaging under hygienic and food-grade conditions to preserve freshness
The factory supplying this product specializes in these steps ensuring adherence to international quality and food safety standards.
