Our meticulous process ensures unparalleled quality and consistency at every stage.
We source premium raw cashew nuts (RCN) from trusted farms across India and overseas markets. Our procurement team evaluates each lot for moisture content, nut size, and shell quality to ensure only the finest raw material enters our processing chain.
Raw nuts are thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, stones, and foreign matter. They are then conditioned by soaking in water to achieve uniform moisture content, which is essential for efficient steam processing and to prevent kernel breakage during shelling.
Conditioned cashew nuts undergo controlled steam roasting at precise temperatures. This process softens the hard outer shell and neutralizes the caustic cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), making the nuts safe and ready for mechanical shelling.
Our automated shelling machines carefully crack open each steamed nut along its natural seam. Skilled workers then extract the kernels by hand where needed, maximizing whole kernel yield while maintaining complete product integrity.
After shelling, kernels are dried in climate-controlled chambers at low temperatures to achieve optimal moisture levels (below 5%). The testa (thin reddish-brown skin) is then removed through a combination of automated peeling and skilled hand-peeling to produce clean, ivory-white kernels.
Every kernel is meticulously sorted by size, color, and shape according to international grading standards (AFI grades). Our electronic color sorters and trained grading teams ensure each grade — from premium W180 to economical splits and pieces — meets exact specifications.
Rigorous quality checks are performed at every stage. Final products undergo comprehensive laboratory testing for moisture content, aflatoxin levels, microbiological parameters, and physical attributes. Only batches meeting our strict FSSAI and international standards are approved.
Approved cashews are packed in food-grade, moisture-resistant packaging under controlled atmospheric conditions. We offer vacuum-sealed pouches, nitrogen-flushed tins, and bulk packaging options. Each shipment is tracked from our facility to the customer's door.
