W500 — 500 small but perfectly formed kernels per pound. The most economical grade while maintaining the same ethical sourcing, lab testing, and vacuum freshness as our W180. Perfect for culinary applications where visual size matters less than flavour and nutrition.
The W500 is the choice of smart buyers who know that a W500 cashew ground into cashew paste, made into kaju katli, or blended into cashew milk is nutritionally identical to a W180 at one-third the price. Same origin, same processing, same vacuum seal, just smaller kernels. The chef's choice.
All cashew grades are nutritionally identical — the grading is entirely about kernel size and visual quality, not taste or nutrition.

Cashew grading is done by kernel count per pound. W180 = 180 kernels per pound (largest). W500 = 500 kernels per pound (smallest). W = Whole kernel. The grading system is internationally standardised by the Cashew Export Promotion Council of India.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For long-term storage (3+ months) keep in the refrigerator. Our vacuum packaging maintains freshness for 12 months before opening. After opening, consume within 30 days for best quality.
Unless specified as Roasted & Salted, our cashews are 'raw' — which in the cashew industry means steam-processed and sun-dried. Truly raw cashews (untreated) contain urushiol and are not safe to eat. Our raw cashews are ready to eat, cook with, or soak.
