Inside the Journey of a Cashew — From Raw Nut to Premium Kernel

Every cashew kernel has a long story before it reaches your home. Behind its smooth texture and rich flavor lies a careful process that requires expertise, patience, and precision. At Rudra Cashew, we follow a scientific, hygienic, and ethically managed process to ensure that every nut delivers purity and quality.

1. Harvesting & Collection

Cashew nuts grow at the bottom of cashew apples. Once harvested, the raw nuts are separated, sun-dried, and transported carefully to the factory to maintain moisture balance and protect the shells.

2. Cleaning & Sorting

Before processing, raw cashew nuts undergo:

• Dust removal
• Stone and impurity separation
• Size-wise sorting

This ensures that only clean and uniform nuts enter the next stage.

3. Steam Roasting

The nuts are steam-roasted to loosen the shells. Our advanced roasting systems ensure:

• Uniform heat
• Better kernel separation
• Retained freshness and flavor

This step prepares the nut for safe shell removal.

4. Shell Cutting

The roasted nuts are cut using precision machines operated by trained technicians. Proper cutting ensures:

• Minimal kernel breakage
• Better yield
• Cleaner output

This stage requires extreme skill and experience.

5. Peeling

Once shelled, cashews still have a thin brown skin. Through gentle heat and air drying, the skin loosens, allowing careful manual peeling without damaging the kernel.

6. Grading

This is where cashews are classified into categories like:

• W180, W210, W240, W320, W400 (Whole Kernels)
• JH, JK, LWP, SWP, SSP, BB (Pieces/Splits)

Grading depends on size, color, shape, and overall appearance.

7. Quality Inspection

Every batch undergoes:

• Hand inspection
• Size & color verification
• Moisture checks
• Foreign particle detection

Only the best kernels move forward.

8. Packaging

Finally, the cashews are packed in airtight, food-grade packaging to preserve:

• Freshness
• Crunch
• Natural oils
• Aroma

At Rudra Cashew, we use premium pouches, boxes, and tins that ensure long shelf life.

Conclusion

From harvesting to packaging, the journey of a cashew requires precision, care, and commitment. At Rudra Cashew, we follow best-in-class standards to deliver the finest quality cashews — rich in taste, purity, and trust.
