Premium W240 Cashew Kernels for Wholesale

W240 Cashew Specifications & Quality Standards

The W240 grade is classified as a premium cashew kernel under the AFI (Association of Food Industries) international grading system. Each kernel in the W240 category measures approximately 220 to 240 nuts per pound, making them visibly larger than the more common W320 cashew kernels. This jumbo size, combined with a uniform ivory-white color and whole unbroken shape, positions the W240 as the preferred choice for premium retail and luxury gifting markets worldwide.

What Makes W240 Cashew Kernels Premium?

Unlike smaller grades, W240 cashew kernels undergo more rigorous sorting to ensure each nut meets the strict size threshold of 240 nuts per pound or fewer. Our factory uses advanced optical sorting technology combined with manual inspection to guarantee that every batch shipped meets the exacting standards expected by international buyers. The result is a product with less than 5% broken kernels, moisture content below 5%, and a consistent light ivory color that appeals to end consumers.

W240 vs W320: What's the Difference?

The primary difference between W240 cashew and W320 cashew lies in size. W240 kernels are approximately 25% larger, containing only 240 nuts per pound compared to W320's 320 nuts per pound. This larger size translates to a more premium appearance on retail shelves and commands a higher price point in the market. For buyers targeting the premium snack segment or luxury gift packaging, W240 is the recommended grade. For cost-effective bulk processing or food service applications, W320 cashew kernels offer better value per kilogram.
