Whether you’re in foodservice, packaged snacks, or food manufacturing, this blog provides everything you need to know about S320 cashews — their specifications, use cases, quality assurance at Kamla Cashew, and how they compare to other whole grades like S180, S210, and S240.
What Are S320 Cashew Kernels?
The S320 grade refers to regular whole cashew kernels that average 320 nuts per pound (approximately 706–880 kernels per kg). “S” stands for “Scorched” — indicating that the kernels have a slightly dull appearance due to higher drying temperatures during processing compared to their white counterparts like W320.
This natural discoloration is purely visual and has no impact on flavor or nutritional value.

- Kernel Count: 300–320 per pound
- Size: Medium
- Color: Dull white with slight discoloration
- Texture: Wrinkly
- Flavor: Mild, buttery, slightly sweet
- Moisture: < 5%
- Broken Kernels: None (100% whole)
- Shelf Life: Up to 6 months when stored properly in airtight packaging
