Kamla Cashew, a trusted name in the Indian cashew processing industry, offers carefully sorted and graded S210 cashew nuts that meet the expectations of wholesalers, food manufacturers, and premium dry fruit retailers alike.
If you’re looking to procure top-quality S210 cashews in bulk quantities across India, this guide is for you. It covers everything you need to know about S210 cashews – from grading standards and quality benchmarks to real-world applications and why Kamla Cashew remains a reliable source for bulk B2B buyers.
What Are S210 Cashew Kernels?
S210 cashew kernels, also known as Scorched Whole 210, are part of the Regular Whole Cashew Grades category. These kernels are slightly scorched during the roasting or steaming process, giving them a natural golden hue. Despite this minimal discoloration, they retain their full nutritional value and characteristic cashew flavor.
The number “210” indicates that approximately less than 210 kernels are present per pound (about 454 grams), which translates to jumbo-sized whole kernels. Their plumpness, uniformity, and low broken ratio make them an attractive option for many commercial uses.
Key Characteristics of S210 Cashew Kernels
- Grade: Scorched Whole 210 (S210)
- Count per pound: 200–210 kernels
- Color: Dull white in color and wrinkly in texture. Slight discoloration might be present.
- Shape: Whole and uniformly kidney-shaped
- Flavor: Rich, nutty, and creamy
- Moisture content: Typically below 5%
- Shelf life: 6 months from the date of packing (if stored properly in airtight conditions)
- Preferred packaging: Available in secure 10kg packs for easy handling and efficient B2B supply chain integration
Why Choose S210 Cashews for Bulk Use?
1. Excellent Size-to-Price Balance
S210 kernels offer a balanced size that sits between the larger S180 and the more compact S240 cashews. This balance makes them ideal for applications where a combination of visual appeal, size, and price efficiency is essential.
2. Strong B2B Demand
Thanks to their moderate kernel size and consistent quality, S210 cashews are in high demand across:
- Snack manufacturing units
- Premium roasted and spiced nut blends
- Sweet and confectionery industries (especially for kaju katli and dry fruit rolls)
- Hospitality and catering sectors
- Gourmet dry fruit gift pack suppliers
3. Natural Appearance
The slight scorching adds a subtle golden touch, making the kernels visually appealing in products where natural, roasted aesthetics are preferred.
