General features of our Cashew nuts W180

When the harvesting time comes, our Vietnamese farmers will separate the drupe from the cashew apple to put them into sun-drying. These raw cashew nuts will then be unshelled to obtain the cashew kernels. All these steps will take place under clean, hygienic, and ideal conditions to ensure the quality requirements and avoid contamination of the cashew nuts.

Our Cashew nuts W180 have met the required standard for superior quality, and been classified as in the extra class. They are all in white-ish color and whole without any broken ones.

Processing of cashew nuts W180 production

• Stage 1: Heat treatment: The application of direct heat, hot oil or steam, prepares the raw cashew nuts W180 for shelling and facilitates removal of the shell.
• Stage 2: Shelling and peeling: The hard shell is either cracked or cut to expose the kernel with testa for separation from the shell. The testa of the cashew kernel has to be removed after shelling. As a result, the white kernels are obtained after removing the shell and the testa.
• Stage 3: Grading: The final stage of the primary processing process is the classification of kernels. For our cashew nuts W180, only cashew nuts that are in whole, white-ish in color, and medium in size would be selected for packaging.
