Cashew Nut Pieces: Do You Know LP, SP, BB and SW Cashews?

People grade cashew nuts by their shape. Normally, whole white cashew nuts (WW cashew nuts) are the most popular ones. However, not all cashew kernels can keep their shape retained. There always be cashew pieces, and people have a way of categorizing them. We can mention LP (Large Pieces), SP (Small Pieces), BB (Baby Broken/Baby Bits), and SW (Scorched Whole). This post will clarify the grading of cashew nut pieces.

How do people grade Cashew Nut Pieces?

Cashew nuts are graded based on their size, shape, and overall condition. This grading helps ensure consistency for buyers and sellers. Here’s a breakdown of the most common cashew nut piece grades:

• LP (Large Pieces): These are the biggest and most premium cashew nut pieces. Normally, it is half or 2/3 of a split cashew kernel. They typically consist of whole cashews or large cashew halves. Due to their size and visual appeal, LP cashews are popular for snacking, baking decorations, and making nut butter.

• SP (Small Pieces): As its name, SP cashews are broken pieces, they are smaller in size than LP cashews. People commonly use this kind in baking like cookies and trail mixes and in salads and dips for more texture and nuttiness. Besides, they also use SP cashew nuts when they need smaller nut sizes, such as in granola bars, confectionery products, or snack mixes.

• BB (Baby Broken/Baby Bits): BB cashews are the smallest. Their shapes are not uniform. The shape of this cashew kind seems a mix of many small and smaller pieces. They are ideal for applying cashew butter or grinding into cashew pastes and sauces to add a creamy cashew flavor.

• SW (Scorched Whole): People don’t grade this kind of cashew by the shape. They do it by color instead. SW is a large, scorched, whole-grain cashew that has all the characteristics and the same nutritional qualities as white cashews. However, it has a slight brown color due to longer roasting.
