People also ask

The questions readers most often ask about kaju price in india.

Why is kaju so expensive?

Cashews are labour-intensive to harvest and process — each nut is shelled and graded carefully, and the shell contains an irritant oil that must be removed. Larger, whole grades cost more because fewer nuts make the cut.

What is the price of 1 kg cashew in India?

In 2026, good-quality 1kg whole cashews typically cost ₹800–₹1,500, depending on grade. Premium W180/W240 sit at the higher end; standard W320 is usually the best value.

Which cashew grade is cheapest?

Broken or split cashew pieces are the cheapest (often ₹600–₹800/kg) and work well for cooking, sweets and gravies where shape doesn't matter.

Is W320 cashew good quality?

Yes — W320 is the most popular grade in India: whole, good-sized, great-tasting and well-priced. It's the sweet spot of quality and value for everyday snacking.
