Grades & sizes
Cashew Grades
Cashew grades describe kernel form, colour and size. W180, W240 and W320 are whole-kernel size grades: fewer kernels in the same weight means a larger average kernel. Splits, butts and smaller pieces use separate codes.
Cashew Nuts (Kaju)
Cashew nuts, or kaju, are the edible seeds of the cashew tree. The kernel is the seed inside the shell. The in-shell nut grows beneath the fleshy cashew apple, which develops from the swollen fruit stalk.
