From the lush coastal farms of India to your table, our cashews are graded by hand, processed with care, and sealed fresh. We stock every commercial grade — so whether you're snacking, cooking, or gifting, you get exactly the right cashew for the job.
Cashew grading is a precise international system that tells you exactly how many whole cashew kernels fit into one pound (453g). A lower W-number means fewer, larger kernels — and a higher price per kilo. Here's a quick reference:
W-Grade
Whole Kernel Standard
The "W" in W180 stands for Whole — meaning intact, unbroken cashew kernels. The number represents how many whole kernels are packed per pound. For example, W180 contains approximately 170–190 cashews per pound, making each kernel exceptionally large. W320 fits approximately 300–320 kernels per pound — the most widely consumed grade globally. Broken or split grades (like B, S, SP) are sold separately at lower prices for industrial use like cashew butter, confectionery, or ground spices.
Higher W-number = Smaller kernel = Value grade = More kernels per pack
All Better Bites grades are WHOLE kernels — no splits, no pieces in premium lines
Premium
W180
Jumbo / Extra Large
~170–190 kernels per pound
The crown jewel of the cashew world. W180 cashews are exceptionally large — nearly the size of a walnut half. Their size makes them visually stunning for gifting, charcuterie boards, and premium snacking. The buttery richness is unmatched. Rarely available in retail — typically reserved for luxury gifting, hotel chains, and high-end F&B.
Slightly smaller than W180 but still visually impressive. W240 is the preferred grade for high-end bakeries, five-star hotel kitchens, and premium dry fruit boxes. A beautiful balance of size, taste richness, and value. Widely used in mithai shops for topping, whole garnishes, and premium mixed nut packs.
The world's most consumed cashew grade. W320 is the industry standard for good reason — it delivers the perfect balance of size, taste, versatility, and price. If you've ever eaten cashews and loved them, there's a 90% chance they were W320. Equally excellent raw, roasted, salted, or used in cooking. Our bestseller by volume.

Heart Health
Rich in oleic acid (the same heart-friendly fat in olive oil) and zero cholesterol. Regular cashew consumption is associated with reduced LDL cholesterol and lower cardiovascular risk.
🧠
Brain Function & Mood
Cashews are high in tryptophan — a precursor to serotonin. They also contain magnesium and zinc, both critical for neurotransmitter function, stress response, and sleep quality.
💪
Muscle & Bone Strength
18g of plant protein per 100g, plus high magnesium and phosphorus for bone density. Ideal for vegetarians, athletes, and active individuals needing quality protein.
⚡
Sustained Energy
Unlike sugar-based snacks, cashews provide slow-release energy through healthy fats and complex carbs. No energy crash. Perfect for mid-day snacking or pre-workout fuel.

Blood Sugar Management
Despite containing carbohydrates, cashews have a low glycaemic index (GI ~25). The fat and protein content slows glucose absorption, making them diabetic-friendly in moderate portions.

Bone & Dental Health
Exceptionally high in copper (244% DV per 100g), which assists in iron metabolism and collagen production — crucial for bone integrity and joint health.

Common Questions
Cashew FAQs.
Are Better Bites cashews raw or roasted by default? +
All W-grade cashews (W180, W240, W320, W450, W500) are sold as raw (unroasted), naturally dried kernels — no oil, no salt, no additives. If you want roasted, choose our specific "Roasted & Salted W320" variant which is slow dry-roasted with zero oil and seasoned with Himalayan pink salt only.
What's the difference between W320 and W240? Is it worth the price difference? +
The core difference is size — W240 kernels are noticeably larger and have a slightly creamier texture due to higher fat density per kernel. For daily snacking, W320 is perfect and delivers exceptional value. For gifting, premium hampers, or bakery topping where visual presentation matters, W240 or W180 are worth the premium. The nutritional difference is minimal — it's primarily an aesthetic and textural upgrade.
How should I store my cashews to keep them fresh? +
Unopened vacuum-sealed packs: store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Shelf life is 12 months. Once opened: transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate. Consume within 2–3 weeks for best flavour. For longer storage (up to 6 months), freeze in a sealed zip-lock bag — cashews thaw within minutes at room temperature without quality loss.
Are your cashews safe for people with tree nut allergies? +
Cashews are a tree nut and are a known allergen. If you have a tree nut allergy, consult your doctor before consuming. Our processing facility also handles almonds, pistas, and other tree nuts, so cross-contamination is possible. All our packaging clearly labels allergen information. We do not claim to be allergy-safe for tree nut allergies.
Can I eat cashews if I'm diabetic? +
Yes — cashews have a low glycaemic index (GI ~25) and their fat and protein content significantly slows glucose absorption. Studies suggest that nut consumption is associated with improved glycaemic control. However, portion control is important due to the calorie density (~553 kcal per 100g). A standard serving of 30g (about 15–20 cashews) is considered appropriate for most diabetic diets. Always consult your nutritionist or physician for personalised advice.
Do you offer bulk orders for businesses, caterers, or corporates? +
Absolutely. We offer bulk pricing starting from 5kg onwards with significant discounts on W320, W450, and W500 grades. We also service caterers, sweet shops, hotels, and corporate gifting companies with white-label packaging options. Contact us at info@betterbites.xyz or WhatsApp +91 97890 53677 for a customised bulk quote.
