Cashew Small W400
Small Konkan Cashews (W400) - Everyday Gourmet 🌰✨
Light, crisp Konkan cashews - W400 whole kernels, hand-processed, sun-dried & certified organic.
Our W400 Konkan Cashews are the lighter, economical whole kernel grade from Ratnagiri’s certified organic orchards 🌿. You’ll get roughly ~400 kernels per pound - small to medium-sized kernels with an excellent, buttery Konkan sweetness and creamy mouthfeel 🧈. These are perfect for everyday snacking 🍽️, blending into granola 🥣, baking 🧁, flavoring savory dishes 🍲, and for chefs wanting consistent texture without the premium price 💸.
🌟 Why Choose Our Konkan Organic Cashews?
Our cashews are hand-picked and traditionally processed by tribal artisans 👩🌾 - certified organic, batch-tested, and minimally handled for the cleanest flavor and traceable nutrition 🔍. Organic practice reduces pesticide residues and, according to multiple studies, tends to increase antioxidant activity vs conventional kernels, while macronutrient composition remains the same ⚖️.

🧪 Short Nutrition & Health Note
Cashews are energy-dense and rich in monounsaturated fats ❤️, plant protein 🌱, magnesium 💪, and copper 🔵 - a nutrient-rich snack. Clinical evidence is mixed but overall suggests cashews are not a driver of higher “bad” cholesterol and, when consumed in place of less healthy snacks or refined carbs, cashews can lower LDL / total cholesterol in some trials; larger meta-analyses find variable results 📊.
In short: cashews can be part of a healthy diet, eaten in portioned amounts 🍽️✅.
