When it comes to choosing the right cashew kernel grade for large-scale processing, food service, or retail packaging, S400 cashew kernels strike a perfect balance between quality and affordability. At Kamla Cashew, we provide premium-grade S400 cashew nuts in consistent quality, packed conveniently for Indian businesses looking for dependable supply and trusted sourcing.
Whether you’re involved in snack manufacturing, namkeen production, cashew-based sweets, or wholesale distribution, our S400 grade cashews can meet your operational needs without compromising on the essential taste and appearance cashew lovers expect.
What Are S400 Cashew Kernels?
S400 is a Regular Whole Cashew Grade, classified based on the number of kernels per pound. Specifically, the S400 grade includes around 400 cashew kernels per pound (approximately 880–900 kernels per kilogram).
Compared to premium grades like W180 or W210, S400 kernels are smaller in size but still whole, intact cashews. Their lower unit cost makes them ideal for businesses focused on value-centric production without losing the benefit of using whole kernels.
These cashews are pale ivory to light yellow in color, naturally shaped, and free from foreign particles, discoloration, or rancidity when processed under strict hygiene and food safety standards—as done at Kamla Cashew.
Who Should Choose S400 Cashews?
The S400 cashew kernel grade is an excellent choice for high-volume commercial applications that prioritize bulk supply, consistency, and cost-efficiency.
Common Business Use Cases:
- Namkeen and snack manufacturers: Incorporate S400 cashews into mixtures without increasing the per-packet cost.
- Sweet and confectionery makers: Use whole kernels for value-added Indian sweets like kaju katli, barfis, or fusion desserts.
- Retailers and repackers: Sell under your own private label with reliable product quality.
- Cashew-based paste and butter producers: Source a lower-cost whole grade for smoother processing.
