W320 Medium Cashews

The Everyday Kitchen Grade

About W320 Medium Cashews

W320 is the most widely used cashew grade in the world. The W stands for whole kernels and 320 is the count per pound, about 706 kernels per kilogram. Each kernel is medium sized, which makes W320 the practical workhorse for Indian kitchens.

This is the grade to buy when the cashew disappears into the dish: kaju katli and sweets, cashew paste for gravies, baking, and breakfast bowls. Since the kernels get chopped, ground, or blended anyway, the medium size is exactly right, and the lower price per kilogram means you can cook generously. For cashews you enjoy whole, choose W180.

Every Cube Root W320 cashew is 100% natural with no preservatives, no salt, and no roasting. We vacuum pack them fresh and ship in airtight containers (1kg and 500g) or a carton pack (200g), with free delivery across India.

Which pack should you pick?

The 1kg container is the best value and the right choice for kitchens that cook with cashews. The 500g suits regular use. The 200g carton is the easiest way to try Cube Root.

Frequently asked questions

What does W320 cashew mean?

W stands for whole kernel and 320 is the number of kernels in a pound, about 706 per kilogram. W320 kaju is a medium-sized whole cashew, smaller than W240 and W180 but still a complete kernel, never a split or a piece.

Is W320 cashew good?

Yes. W320 is a whole-kernel W grade, and Cube Root sells only whole kernels. The number describes size; broken, split, and piece grades are the lower-quality categories, and we do not sell those.

Which cashew is best for kaju katli and cooking?

W320. The kernels get chopped, ground, or blended anyway, so the medium size is ideal and the price per kilogram lets you cook without counting. It is also the grade to buy for cashew paste in gravies. Kaju katli: buy vs make at home.

What is the difference between W320 and W400?

W400 is smaller still, about 880 kernels per kilogram, and is mostly bought by sweet makers and food manufacturers. We stop at W320 because it is the smallest grade that still gives a proper whole cashew.

How many cashews are in 1kg of W320?

Approximately 706 kernels.

Should I buy W320 or W180?

Buy W320 for the kitchen and W180 for the bowl. W320 and W180 sit at opposite ends of the scale: one is made for grinding and cooking, the other for eating whole, serving guests and gifting. If the cashew is going to be seen and savoured, W180 is the one. Compare W240 and W320.
