About Our Cashew Nuts

Raw whole cashews stand out for their curved crescent shape, pale ivory colour, and gentle, naturally sweet flavour. Unlike harder tree nuts, cashews possess a tender structure and high natural oil content that softens easily when soaked or heated.

We select intact W240/W320 grade whole kernels that are free from artificial additives, salt, or preservatives. Whether you roast them for a crisp snack, blend them into velvety plant-based sauces, or use them in festive Indian desserts, raw whole cashews bring clean taste and luxurious texture to your kitchen.

Health Benefits of Cashews

Adding raw cashews to your daily meals delivers essential plant-based nutrients, minerals, and healthy fats:

• Heart-Healthy Monounsaturated Fats: Rich in oleic and linoleic acids, cashews support healthy cholesterol levels as part of a balanced diet.
• Essential Plant Minerals: Packed with magnesium, copper, zinc, and phosphorus to help support bone strength, immune function, and metabolic energy.
• Plant-Based Protein & Fibre: A 30g serving supplies clean plant protein and dietary fibre to promote fullness between meals.
• Cellular Protection: Contains concentrated antioxidants, including polyphenols and carotenoids, which help neutralise free radicals.

How to Use Cashews in Cooking & Baking

Whole raw cashews adapt seamlessly to sweet desserts, savoury main dishes, and dairy-free cooking:

• Creamy Curries & Gravies: Grind soaked cashews into a fine paste to create rich, mild gravy bases for classic dishes like Shahi Paneer, Korma, and Butter Chicken.
• Traditional Indian Sweets: Roast cashews in pure ghee to prepare festive favourites like Kaju Katli, Kaju Halwa, or garnish for rich Kheer and Payasam.
• Plant-Based Dairy Alternatives: Soak raw cashews in warm water, then blend with fresh water to produce silky cashew cream, vegan cheese sauces, or dairy-free milk.
• Stir-Fries & Grain Dishes: Toss whole cashews into Asian stir-fries, egg fried rice, or vegetable biryanis for an aromatic, crunchy bite.

To build a complete nut and baking pantry, pair cashews with our crunchy almond slices, fine almond flour, or raw pecan nuts.

How to Make Raw Cashew Cream

Creating a smooth, multi-purpose vegan cream base requires just two ingredients and a few minutes of blending:

1. Soak: Cover 150g of raw whole cashews with boiling water and let them sit for 20 to 30 minutes until soft.
2. Drain: Drain the soaking water and transfer the softened cashews to a high-speed blender.
3. Blend: Add 120ml of fresh water (and a pinch of sea salt for savoury uses, or maple syrup for sweet recipes).
4. Process: Blend on high speed for 2 minutes until completely smooth, creamy, and free of grit. Use immediately in pasta sauces, soups, or desserts.

• Airtight Storage: Once opened, transfer cashews into an airtight glass jar or container to keep out room humidity and moisture.
• Refrigeration & Freezing: Keep opened containers in the fridge for up to 9 months, or freeze sealed bags for up to 12 months to preserve raw freshness.
