Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about kaju, badam, dry fruits & ordering from House of Nuts.

What is the benefit of kaju (cashews)?

Kaju (cashews) are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, plant protein, magnesium, copper and zinc. They support heart health, bone strength and immunity, and provide steady energy. A small handful (about 28g) a day is a wholesome snack. At House of Nuts we sell premium W320-grade kaju, freshly packed.

How much is 1 kg of kaju?

The price of 1 kg kaju in India typically ranges from about ₹800 to ₹1,500 depending on grade and quality. Premium W320 whole cashews cost more than broken or smaller grades. At House of Nuts, 1 kg of W320 kaju is available at a competitive price with free shipping on orders above ₹999.

Is kaju hot or cold for the body?

In Ayurveda, kaju (cashews) are considered 'hot' (warming) in nature, like most nuts. This is why they are eaten more in winter and in moderation in summer. Soaking kaju or eating them with cooling foods can balance this. Around a handful a day is generally well-tolerated.

What does kaju mean?

Kaju is the Hindi/Indian word for cashew nut — the kidney-shaped seed of the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale). It is widely used in Indian cooking, sweets like kaju katli, and as a premium snack. House of Nuts offers kaju in plain, roasted, salted, fried and masala variants.

Which is healthier, kaju or badam (cashew or almond)?

Both are healthy. Badam (almonds) are higher in fibre, vitamin E and antioxidants, while kaju (cashews) are richer in iron, magnesium and have a creamier taste with slightly fewer calories. For weight management and skin, badam has an edge; for energy and minerals, kaju is great. Eating a mix of both is ideal.

How should I store dry fruits and nuts to keep them fresh?

Store nuts and dry fruits in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. For long-term freshness, refrigerate or freeze them — this prevents the natural oils from going rancid. House of Nuts products are freshly packed in sealed, moisture-resistant packaging to lock in flavour.

What are the best dry fruits to eat daily?

A balanced daily mix includes 4–6 badam (almonds), 3–4 kaju (cashews), 2 akhrot (walnuts), a few kishmish (raisins) and a date or two. This combination provides protein, omega-3, fibre, iron and natural energy. Soaking them overnight can improve digestion.

Are House of Nuts products natural and preservative-free?

Yes. House of Nuts products are 100% natural with no added preservatives or artificial colours. We source premium-grade nuts and dry fruits and pack them fresh, so you get pure, wholesome goodness in every pack.

Do you deliver across India? What about shipping charges?

Yes, House of Nuts delivers across India. Shipping is free on all orders above ₹999; a small flat fee applies below that. Orders are freshly packed and dispatched promptly, with secure payment via Razorpay (UPI, cards, netbanking).

Can I buy nuts in different flavours and pack sizes?

Yes. Many products — like kaju, badam, pista and makhana — come in multiple flavours (plain, roasted, salted, fried, masala, peri-peri) and pack sizes (250g, 500g, 1kg). You can pick your preferred combination on each product page.
