White Whole 320
Appearance:
They are ivory to pale white in color, with a smooth surface and a characteristic kidney shape. “Whole” indicates that the kernels are intact, without splits or significant breakage.
Moisture Content:
Typically maintained between 3% and 5%, which is critical for preserving freshness, preventing microbial growth, and ensuring a stable shelf life. Proper moisture control also helps avoid brittleness or spoilage during storage and transport.
Texture:
Firm and slightly dense when raw, with a clean, crisp bite. They are not overly hard but should not feel soft or rubbery, which could indicate excess moisture or poor handling.
Taste:
Mild, slightly sweet, and buttery in flavor, with a subtle nutty profile. Raw cashews are less pronounced in taste compared to roasted ones, offering a clean and delicate flavor that becomes richer when cooked or processed.
Overall, whole white raw cashew nuts are valued for their uniformity, low moisture content, and consistent quality, making them suitable for direct consumption, roasting, or further processing in food applications.
