When it comes to sourcing high-quality cashew kernels for sweets, snacks, and bakery production in India, Large White Pieces (LWP) stand out as one of the most reliable grades for bulk buyers.
Whether you’re a halwai preparing kaju katli for festive seasons or a snack brand developing roasted kaju mixes, LWP cashews provide the perfect balance between cost, quality, and consistency.
In this detailed guide, we’ll explore what LWP cashew kernels are, why they are preferred by B2B buyers across India, and how Kamla Cashew ensures premium supply tailored to business needs.
What Are LWP Cashew Kernels?
LWP (Large White Pieces) or 4 piece cashew are broken cashew pieces, carefully sorted during processing. As whole cashew kernels are shelled and dried, some naturally break into clean, medium-sized fragments. These fragments retain the same rich flavor, creamy texture, and nutritional profile of whole kernels.
For manufacturers, mithai brands, and snack producers, LWP cashew kernels offer a smart way to reduce ingredient costs while maintaining product quality.
Key Characteristics of LWP Cashew Kernels:
- Medium-sized white cashew pieces
- Uniform shape for smooth mixing and blending
- Ideal for sweets, roasted snacks, bakery fillings
- Lower cost per kg compared to whole grades
- Clean, fresh, and ready for immediate use
Unlike irregular or small broken grades, LWP offers a good balance of appearance and economy, making it the most demanded broken cashew grade for B2B food applications.
Why LWP Cashew Kernels Are a Top Choice for B2B Buyers
LWP cashews are not just a cost-saving option—they are an ingredient-grade kernel preferred by businesses that need both taste and presentation. Here’s why:
1. Versatility Across Applications
- Sweets & Mithai: Perfect for kaju katli, barfi, ladoos, and cashew halwa
- Snacks: Ideal for roasted masala kaju, dry fruit mixes, and namkeen blends
- Bakery: Common in cookies, cakes, and chocolate fillings
- Energy Bars & Granola: Adds richness and flavor without overshooting budgets
2. Flavor & Texture Retention
Despite being broken pieces, LWP kernels retain the same creamy flavor and crunchy texture as whole cashews. This makes them suitable for both visible toppings and blended recipes.
3. Consistent Size for Production Efficiency
Uniformity is key in large-scale food production. LWP kernels ensure consistent size, helping machines mix, roast, or pack efficiently with minimal wastage.
4. Cost-Effectiveness
Why pay premium prices for whole cashews if the final product doesn’t require perfect visuals? LWP lets B2B buyers maximize profit margins by offering the same quality at a better price.
5. Trusted Supply from Kamla Cashew
Kamla Cashew supplies carefully graded LWP kernels, ensuring:
- Hygiene and freshness
- No excess moisture (for better shelf life)
- Secure packaging for easy transport
