Frequently Asked Questions
What does W180–W200 actually mean?
W180–W200 refers to the global grading standard for whole cashews.
The number indicates how many kernels make up one pound — the lower the number, the larger the cashew.
W180 are considered among the largest whole cashew grades available worldwide, often referred to as the “King Size” of the harvest.
Only a small portion of each crop qualifies for this size
Why are larger cashews considered premium?
Larger cashews require optimal growing conditions and careful grading.
Because fewer kernels meet jumbo size standards, they are naturally more limited.
Beyond appearance, larger kernels tend to be:
- More uniform
- Creamier in texture
- Visibly more impressive when served
They are often preferred for premium hospitality, festive gifting, and gourmet cooking.
Will I actually notice the size difference?
Yes.
Jumbo cashews are visibly fuller and more uniform compared to standard mixed-size cashews.
When served in a bowl, added to pulao, or used in sweets, the difference is immediately noticeable in presentation.
For hosting or gifting, size directly enhances perceived quality.
Do larger cashews really make better gravies and pastes?
Yes — and here’s why.
Jumbo kernels have greater density and natural fat content per piece.
When soaked and blended, they yield:
- Smoother paste
- Thicker consistency
- Creamier mouthfeel
This makes them ideal for makhani, korma, and dairy-free sauces where texture matters.
How does MevaBite ensure quality consistency?
Each batch is evaluated for:
- Kernel size (W180–W200 range)
- Uniformity
- Minimal broken pieces
Only whole kernels meeting jumbo-grade standards are selected for packaging.
This ensures consistency from batch to batch.
What percentage of broken pieces can I expect?
Our Jumbo selection is hand-graded to maintain minimal breakage.
While minor breakage can occur during transit, each pack is curated to prioritize whole, uniform kernels — not mixed-size assortments.
Where are these cashews sourced from?
Our cashews are sourced from trusted Indian growing regions known for producing fuller, creamier kernels.
Each harvest is screened for size and quality before earning the MevaBite Jumbo designation.
Why are Jumbo Cashews priced higher than regular cashews?
Only a limited portion of each harvest qualifies as W180–W200 grade.
You are not simply paying for weight — you are paying for:
- Larger kernel size
- Visual uniformity
- Lower broken percentage
- Superior culinary performance
Jumbo grade represents the top tier of whole cashew selection.
Are these roasted or salted?
No.
These are 100% raw and unprocessed cashews with no added salt, oil, sugar, or preservatives.
You can roast, season, or use them according to your preference.
Are these suitable for daily snacking?
Yes.
With approximately 18g plant protein per 100g, heart-friendly fats, and essential minerals, they make a clean whole-food snack — free from artificial additives and processing.
Are these suitable for festive gifting or hospitality?
Absolutely.
Their large size, uniform appearance, and premium presentation make them ideal for festive occasions, guest serving, and curated dry fruit gifting.
Jumbo kernels naturally signal abundance and quality.
Can children consume these?
Yes, when consumed in moderation.
They are a natural source of protein and healthy fats.
However, as with all nuts, supervise young children due to choking risk.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Reseal tightly after every use to preserve freshness and texture.
In humid climates, refrigeration is recommended for extended freshness.
