At Kamla Cashew, we understand that B2B buyers—especially those in food processing, hospitality, exports, and bulk retail—require not just quality but also reliability, consistency, and value. The S240 cashew kernel offers all these and more.

In this detailed guide, we explore everything you need to know about S240 scorched whole cashew nuts, including their specifications, key applications, price range in India, and why Kamla Cashew is the trusted supplier for hundreds of businesses nationwide.

Before we dive deep, if you’re exploring different grades, make sure to check our Premium Cashew Kernels page for an overview of all whole cashew types including W180, W210, W240, and W320 — each tailored to different business needs.

What Are S240 Scorched Whole Cashew Kernels?

The “S” in S240 stands for scorched, referring to cashew kernels that are white in color but have a slightly wrinkled texture due to extended drying or roasting during processing. While their color differs from the pristine white of premium grades like W240, their taste, nutritional value, and structural integrity remain intact.

The number “240” indicates the number of whole kernels per pound (453.6g). So S240 cashews fall under the “large” category, though slightly smaller than S210 and S180 grades.

Key Features of Kamla Cashew’s S240 Grade

At Kamla Cashew, our S240 Regular Whole Cashew Kernels are defined by:

  • Count per pound: ~240 kernels/lb
  • Color: Light tan to ivory (due to light roasting)
  • Shape: Whole, unbroken kernels
  • Texture: Crisp, firm, naturally dried
  • Flavor: Mild, creamy, and naturally roasted
  • Shelf Life: 6 months from packed date

These characteristics make S240 kernels highly desirable for B2B buyers who prioritize visual uniformity, taste, and affordability for large-scale production or repackaging.

Ideal Use Cases for S240 Cashew Kernels

S240 kernels serve a wide range of commercial applications across India’s food sector. Their moderate size, full shape, and standard appearance make them perfect for:

1. Snack Manufacturing

  • Roasted cashew snacks (salted, masala, herb-flavored)
  • Trail mixes and nut combinations
  • Single-serve snack packs for airline catering or retail

2. Confectionery

  • Chocolate-coated cashews

S240 is particularly suitable for regional Indian brands looking to scale their offerings while maintaining visual appeal and product consistency.

Why S240 Is a Smart Choice for Bulk Buyers

Choosing S240 Regular Whole Cashew Kernels gives B2B buyers several advantages:

Balanced Quality & Cost

S240 provides a full cashew kernel at a lower cost than premium white grades. The slight color variation (tan instead of white) does not impact flavor or usability in most food applications.

Supply Chain Efficiency

With a kernel count that’s consistent and predictable (~240/lb), S240 ensures batch consistency in automated packaging and food production processes.

Greater Availability

As one of the more commonly produced grades, S240 is readily available throughout the year, making it easier for procurement managers to plan inventory.

 Low Breakage

Due to its medium size, S240 has a lower breakage rate than larger, more delicate grades like W180 or W210. This helps reduce processing losses.
