A city that grades cashew by eye

Kollam’s cashew factories made the town famous, and generations of workers learned to sort kernels by size, colour and break. That habit shows up at home: Kollam cooks notice a scorched or broken nut at once. Whole, pale Jumbo Cashew (Kaju) is for frying and serving, while Kaju Roasted is the snack for visitors. If you want to compare our cashew grades side by side, the cashew collection lists every one.

Onam, Christmas and the backwater kitchen

Kollam’s Onam sadya ends, as everywhere in Kerala, with payasam. Here pal payasam and parippu pradhaman share the leaf, each topped with fried nuts and Regular Dakh (Kishmis/Resin). The Latin Catholic families of the coast bake plum cake for Christmas, soaking chopped fruit for weeks. Whole Cardamom (Elaichi) Green and Super goes into both the payasam and the cake batter.

Salt air and storage

Kollam sits between the Arabian Sea and Ashtamudi Lake, so the air is salty and damp most of the year. Nuts left in a paper bag absorb it within days. Store Regular Badam and Walnut Kernels Four Pieces in a steel or glass container and keep it away from the kitchen window. Buying a smaller pack and reordering is better than letting a large one sit open through the monsoon. For weddings and office occasions, our gift boxes can be ordered in any quantity.

Where the parcel goes

Orders start at ₹1,000 and every order ships free. Payment is online only. A Kollam order usually reaches you in 5–7 days by courier, weighed to the gram and sealed airtight. The courier also covers Karunagappally, Kottarakkara, Paravur and Punalur, so families spread across the district can each order to their own address.

One more thought for a cashew town: Kollam buyers sometimes ask why a shop far away is worth trying when processing units sit nearby. The honest answer is choice. Our shelf puts cashew next to almonds, walnuts, dates, pista and whole spices, each priced live and weighed for your order, so a single parcel can cover payasam, cake and a festive gift without visits to several counters.
