Grading Criteria for Organic Cashew Nuts:

Cashew nuts are graded based on several factors, including size, color, shape, and defects. The grading system helps classify cashews according to their quality and appearance. Here is a general overview of the grading process for cashew nuts:

1. Size: Cashew nuts are typically graded by the number of kernels per pound (lb). The higher the number, the smaller the kernels. For example, "240” grade cashews have approximately 240 kernels per pound, while "180” grade cashews have approximately 180 kernels per pound.

2. Colour: The colour of cashew kernels can vary from pale ivory to light golden depending on factors such as processing methods and storage conditions. Higher quality cashews typically have a uniform, creamy colour without any dark spots or discoloration.

3. Shape: Cashew kernels should have a uniform shape, with a characteristic curved or kidney-like appearance. Irregularly shaped or misshapen kernels may indicate lower quality.

4. Defects: Cashew nuts are inspected for defects such as splits, broken pieces, shriveled kernels, mold, discoloration, and foreign materials. Higher quality cashews have fewer defects and a higher percentage of intact kernels.

Based on these criteria, cashew nuts are typically graded into several categories, including:

W-180: This grade indicates that there are approximately 180 whole kernels per pound. These are the largest and highest quality cashew nuts available.

W-210: Cashews in this grade have approximately 210 whole kernels per pound. They are slightly smaller than W-180 grade but still considered high quality.

W-240: This grade represents cashews with approximately 240 whole kernels per pound. They are smaller in size compared to W-180 and W-210 grades but are still of good quality.

Splits: Cashew nuts that have been manually split into halves or thirds. These are often used as decorative toppings or ingredients in recipes.

Pieces: Broken or chopped cashew kernels that may result from processing whole cashews. These are suitable for cooking, baking, or snacking.

The grading of cashew nuts may vary slightly depending on regional standards and specific requirements of buyers and sellers. However, the general principles of grading based on size, colour, shape, and defects remain consistent across the industry.
