Why We Like It
- 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?
Aflatoxin 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.
Nuts and seeds go rancid because of their oil. Buy small sealed packs and store them cool and dark.
Raw means no added oil or salt. The ingredient list should be just the nut or the seed.
Broken, shrivelled or unevenly coloured pieces point to old stock or poor sorting.
