Process for Processing Cashew Nuts to Meet High-Quality Export Standards

The process for processing cashew nuts to meet export standards is a crucial procedure that helps produce high-quality and delicious products. Properly implementing this process not only saves time and effort for farmers but also enhances the product's value, meeting the diverse needs of consumers. Let's join TTQ in exploring the process for processing cashew nuts to meet export standards to deliver the best products to the market.

Export Standards for Cashews

To successfully export cashews and compete effectively in the international market, adhering to export standards is essential. Here are three main factors suppliers need to consider when selecting cashews:

Size Standards for Cashews

For imported products, consumers often focus on quality and price, making them "demanding." The size of cashews is a crucial factor in determining quality and nutritional value.

The selling price of cashews depends on their quality and nutritional content; therefore, the size of cashews must be uniform, without any shriveled nuts. When packaging, whole cashews should be sorted by size, ensuring that large and small nuts are packaged separately, thereby enhancing product value and building consumer trust.

Shape Standards

Cashews need to have an appealing and uniform shape to make a good impression on consumers. The standard shape is round at the top and tapered at the bottom. Whole nuts have different prices compared to broken or half nuts, and shelled nuts should remain intact without chipping.

Salted roasted cashews are also popular; however, if they break during roasting, salt can accumulate unevenly, affecting flavor consistency. This impacts product quality and consumer experience.

Color Standards

Color is one of the important criteria in export standards for international markets. Export companies must eliminate nuts that are overly brown, green, or black after shelling. Dark-colored nuts often indicate dryness and poor quality, while green or black may result from pests or burning. Maintaining the natural color of cashews is necessary to ensure they remain attractive and high-quality.

The process for processing cashew nuts to meet export standards

The process for processing cashew nuts to meet export standards is not only similar to the domestic supply process but also requires attention to consumer preferences and the legal regulations of the import market. To ensure that the final product meets quality standards, raw cashew nuts must undergo 12 important processing steps.

Step 1: Selecting Raw Materials: Initially, raw cashews are gathered and thoroughly inspected. Only those meeting color uniformity standards are selected to ensure product quality.

Step 2: Cleaning: Next comes filtering out dust, dirt, sand, and other impurities mixed with raw cashews. This ensures that the nuts are completely clean before processing begins.

Step 3: Sorting Raw Cashew Sizes: Sorting by size enhances commercial value while facilitating easier steaming and shell removal processes.

Step 4: Steaming: Cashews are then placed in a steamer for about 30-50 minutes. This softens their shells making subsequent shell removal easier. After steaming, they rest at room temperature for approximately 24 hours preparing them for hard shell cutting.

Step 5: Cutting Hard Shells: This crucial step determines overall factory productivity—careful execution using machinery minimizes breakage rates down between 5-8%, preserving nut quality while boosting economic efficiency through increased productivity levels too!

Step 6: Drying Kernels: Cashew kernels continue drying under high temperatures—not only cooking them but also removing silk skins & killing harmful microorganisms ensuring safety throughout production stages!

Step 7: Moisturizing Kernels: At this stage surfaces moistened allowing easier silk skin peeling later on...

Steps 8: Peeling Silk Skins: During peeling utmost care taken minimizing breakages—cleanliness within factories/tools vital directly impacting final product qualities...

Steps 9: Kernel Selection: Post-peeling thorough inspections conducted removing any remaining silk skins guaranteeing only perfect kernels reach marketplaces...

Steps 10: Cleaning Kernels: Gentle scraping performed avoiding damage—beautiful colors achieved impressing consumers alike...

Steps 11: Kernel Classification: Classified based upon color/size meeting either export standards/partner requirements ensuring consistent supply chains fulfilling market demands...

Steps 12: Metal Detection/Sterilization: Metal detectors employed identifying/removing tiny fragments followed by sterilization processes safeguarding food safety measures...

Final Step 13: Vacuum Packaging: Finally vacuum-sealed bags containing desiccants used prolong shelf life adhering strictly towards moisture absorption regulations set forth within respective exporting countries!

The process of processing cashew nuts to meet export standards not only ensures product quality but also demonstrates dedication and professionalism in meeting consumer needs, thereby creating cashew nut products that meet the highest standards for export.
