Product Description
The quality of raw cashew depends on the following four parameters:
Graining: generally between 160 (large nuts) and 240 (very small nuts), the smaller they are the less they value.
The default rate: the percentage of defective nuts should not exceed 15% of the lot may be succeptible otherwise be rejected by the buyer, the seller must sort and therefore his lot before commercilaisation.
KOR (Kernel Output Ratio) is the most important indicator from the sample, we estimate the average amount of consumables almonds contained in a lot of raw nuts. KOR normally varies between 42 and 56 Lbs.
Humidity: this rate is less than 10% era if the lot cashew will damage quickly. It must be greater than 5% if the nut processing will be more difficult.
Classification Method 1 - Classified according to grades / with or without basing on number of kernel per kilogram. | |

| | Cashew kernels have been classified according to 6 quality levels | |
| | | |
| | Explanation of cashew grade terminology: The alphabets at the front represent a word descriptive of the form of cashew – W for whole, B for Broken, S for Split etc. The numbers that follow the alphabets (where present) usually represent the number of kernels per pound. Hence, to give an example, W 210 implies that it is a whole cashew kernel which gives 210 kernels per pound. |
| Classification Method 2 – based on whether the cashew kernel is whole or broken | |
| | | |
| | Plain Natural Wholes - Cashew is graded in three categories based on colour. White Wholes (“W” appearance – white, pale ivory), Scorched Wholes (“SW” – slightly reddish) and Scorched Wholes Seconds (“SSW” – discolored); W and SW Wholes are graded according to size, i.e. number of nuts per Pound; Super Premium – W 150; Premium – W 210; Regular – W 450; Economy – SW 450 | |
