Whole white and scorched cashew kernels
Raw cashew from Burkina Faso is prized for its cream colour and dense, even kernels. We work with processing partners in the region to shell, peel, and grade to standard export bands, then pack for the way you use the product — vacuum pouches for manufacturers and packers, tins where you need longer unrefrigerated life.
How buyers usually order
- By grade and volume — for example, “2 × 40ft FCL of WW320, CIF Rotterdam”.
- Against a spec sheet — send yours and we confirm what we can meet before you commit.
- Sample first — we ship a paid sample so your QA team can check colour, count, and moisture.
Lead times, Incoterms, and container details are on the Buyers page. To get pricing, send a quote request with the grade, volume, and destination.
