-
Single ingredient, whole raw kernels with nothing added.

The lab report puts aflatoxin below the limit of quantification and finds no pathogens.
-
Raw rather than roasted or salted, so it works as an ingredient as much as a snack.
-
Native-variety trees, with a batch number that traces back.
What to look for in Cashew Nuts?
What to look for in Cashew Nuts?
- 01Aflatoxin from mould is the main safety risk in nuts and groundnuts. It is invisible, survives cooking, and is the reason to buy from brands that test.
- 02Nuts and seeds go rancid because of their oil. Buy small sealed packs and store them cool and dark.
- 03Raw means no added oil or salt. The ingredient list should be just the nut or the seed.
- 04Broken, shrivelled or unevenly coloured pieces point to old stock or poor sorting.
