Among the regular whole cashew grades, S180 cashew kernels stand out as the largest and most visually impressive scorched cashew variant. At Kamla Cashew, we offer premium-quality S180 cashew kernels that combine size, consistency, and rich flavor, making them a preferred choice for high-end applications in the Indian food processing and retail sectors.
This blog delves into everything a B2B buyer needs to know about S180 cashews – from grading and size specifications to usage, applications, and why Kamla Cashew is a trusted source for this top-tier cashew grade.
What Are S180 Cashew Kernels?
S180 cashew kernels belong to the “scorched” category of whole cashews. They are dull white in color with a slightly wrinkled texture and occasional minor discoloration, while retaining full natural flavor and nutritional value.
The “180” in the name signifies that there are approximately 170 to 180 kernels per pound (around 454 grams), which makes S180 the largest regular whole cashew kernel size. These kernels are whole, plump, and uniform, making them ideal for industries and segments where visual presentation and size matter.

- Kernel Count: 170–180 per pound
