Choosing the Perfect Cashews
Choosing cashews can be simple when you know what to look for. This breakdown helps you understand the different types of cashews. It covers cashew grades and the key differences between raw and roasted nuts. We also explore the health benefits to help you make a confident choice. This information ensures you find the perfect cashews for your needs on Krishival.com.
Understanding Cashew Grades: From W180 to W450
Understanding cashew grades helps you select the right nut for your needs. The "W" in a grade like W320 stands for "White Wholes," which are premium, light-colored cashews. The number tells you the approximate count of nuts per pound (about 454 grams). A smaller number means larger cashews.
Beyond whole cashews, there are also other forms. Splits (JH) and Pieces (LWP, SWP) are broken cashews. These are a budget-friendly option perfect for curries, desserts, and making cashew butter.
Raw vs. Roasted: Which Cashew is Right for You?
Choosing between raw vs roasted cashews depends on your taste and how you plan to use them. Both options offer a delightful experience, but they have distinct characteristics.
Raw Cashews
- They possess a softer, creamier texture.
- Ideal for vegan cooking, especially for making creamy sauces or your own cashew milk.
- They allow you to control the salt, as they are naturally unsalted.
Roasted Cashews
- They deliver a crunchier texture and a deeper, more intense nutty flavor.
- Perfect for ready-to-eat snacking right out of the bag.
- Krishival lightly roasts its cashews in small batches. This process preserves their nutritional goodness without using unhealthy oils. Try our delicious Pepper Cashews for a savory treat.
