About cashew kernels

Cashew kernels are graded by colour and by count: WW180 means whole white kernels at about 180 or fewer per pound, so the lower the number, the larger the kernel. Vietnam and India are the largest processing origins.

We work with processors we have verified and confirm grade, food safety certificates and packing before shipment.
