Konkani Cashew | BIG-W210 | काजू 210

A creamy bite, a gentle nutty flavour and a place in everything from a small snack bowl to a festive sweet. Past In Present Agro Konkani Cashews bring Indian-grown cashews from farmers in Maharashtra’s Konkan and Kolhapur regions to your kitchen. This 250 g pack contains large W210-grade cashew kernels, ready to enjoy on their own or use in your favourite recipes.

India both grows cashews and imports raw cashew nuts for processing. Our sourcing choice is specific: Indian-grown cashews sourced directly from farmers in Konkan and Kolhapur. If knowing where your food is grown matters to you, this pack brings that connection along with the creamy texture and gentle nutty taste of Konkani cashews.

Keep a few beside your afternoon tea, toast them lightly for a fragrant topping, or blend them into a smooth paste for a rich curry. Their creamy texture makes them just as welcome in everyday meals as in laddus, kheer and special-occasion cooking.

Konkani Cashews: A Familiar Food with a Known Origin

A pack of cashews can tell a story beyond its size grade. For us, that story begins with where the cashews grow and the people who grow them. We source these Indian-grown cashews directly from farmers in Maharashtra’s Konkan and Kolhapur regions, keeping the origin at the heart of what we share with you.

It is a simple reason to choose this pack: large, creamy cashews for your kitchen, with a sourcing story that names the region and a farmer behind the crop.

Meet Ashok Kashilkar from Dapoli

Among the growers we source from is Ashok Kashilkar, a farmer from Dapoli in the Konkan region. He has practised natural farming for more than a decade, bringing years of experience and care to his work.

Sharing his name matters to us. It gives you a connection to a real grower and a place, rather than leaving the story at the words “cashew kernels.” His farming experience is part of the background of the cashews we bring to your table.

The Value of Knowing Your Farmer

• A named origin: Konkan and Kolhapur are part of the story of this Indian-grown product.
• Direct sourcing: We work directly with farmers, allowing us to share the people and places behind the crop.
• Experience behind the food: Ashok Kashilkar’s decade-plus of natural farming adds a personal connection to an everyday kitchen ingredient.

From a Snack Bowl to Your Family Recipes

These cashews need not wait for a celebration. Enjoy them alongside tea, stir chopped pieces into a pulao, or keep them ready for a creamy gravy. When a festive recipe calls for cashews, the same pack can become a garnish for kheer or a handful folded into homemade laddus.

That is the value we want this pack to bring: an ingredient you enjoy using, with a known Indian origin and a farmer’s story worth sharing.

• A satisfying creamy bite: Large kernels to enjoy on their own or alongside your favourite dried fruits.
• Versatile in the kitchen: Use whole as a garnish, chop into sweets, or blend into gravies and spreads.
• Simple ingredient: Cashew kernels with their own gentle nutty flavour.
• Known sourcing: Indian-grown cashews sourced directly from farmers in Konkan and Kolhapur.

1. A Simple Tea-Time Snack
Serve a small portion alongside tea or coffee and enjoy the creamy bite on its own. For a toasted flavour, warm the cashews gently in a dry pan, stirring and watching closely to avoid scorching.

2. A Homemade Trail Mix
Combine with raisins, other dried fruits, nuts or seeds you enjoy. Pack a small portion for a work break or journey, choosing ingredients to suit your dietary needs.

3. Creamy Curry & Gravy Base
Soak a portion until softened, drain and blend with fresh water into a smooth paste. Add it while cooking your favourite gravy for a creamy texture, adjusting the quantity and consistency to your recipe.

4. Pulao, Rice & Salad Topping
Lightly toast whole or chopped cashews and scatter them over pulao, rice dishes or salads just before serving. Their nutty flavour adds contrast to vegetables, herbs and spices.

5. Laddus, Kheer & Festive Sweets
Chop and fold into homemade laddus, add to kheer, or use whole kernels as a finishing garnish. Choose the size of the pieces to suit the texture of your sweet.

6. Homemade Cashew Spread
Blend lightly roasted, cooled cashews into a spread, pausing as needed to protect your blender. Enjoy on toast or use a spoonful in a recipe that calls for cashew butter.

• Before Opening: Keep the pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture and heat. Follow the best-before date and any storage instructions printed on the pack.
• After Opening: Transfer the cashews to a clean, completely dry, airtight container. Close the lid promptly after taking out your portion.
• Everyday Handling: Use dry hands or a dry spoon. Keep the container away from steam, the stove, wet utensils and strongly scented ingredients.
• In Warm or Humid Weather: Keep the airtight container in the refrigerator to help protect freshness. Take out only the portion you need and avoid exposing the remaining cashews to moisture.
• Before Serving: Check the cashews before use. Do not eat them if you notice mould, an unusual smell or a rancid taste. Roasting does not make spoiled nuts suitable to eat.
