Welcome to Color & Defect Cashew Grades – Affordable Cashew Solutions for Industrial & Bulk Use

Looking for cost-effective cashew options without compromising on utility? Our Color & Defect Grades are ideal for manufacturers, bulk processors, and food producers. Whether slightly scorched, visually imperfect, or industrial-grade, these cashews retain their core flavor and nutritional value — making them a smart choice for large-scale applications and value-driven products.

Optional Color & Defect Cashew Grades

In addition to standard grading, cashew kernels may also be classified based on color and defects, which helps determine their best use in industrial or value-driven applications. These grades are fully edible but may not meet visual or shape standards required for premium packaging.

Available Classifications:

  • Scorched (S):
    Cashew kernels that appear slightly brown due to higher roasting temperatures — still flavorful and nutritious.

  • Dessert (D):
    Kernels with visible defects such as spots, shriveling, or discoloration. Used in low-cost food processing where appearance is secondary.

  • Second Quality:
    Lower-grade kernels typically used for oil extraction, animal feed, or non-edible industrial purposes.

These grades offer a cost-effective solution for manufacturers, bakeries, and industries looking to maximize value while maintaining core nutritional benefits.
