Based in Nadukuppam, Panruti, Tamil Nadu
MuthuvelCashews is dedicated to delivering high-quality cashew nuts to businesses across India. Sourced from the fertile red soils of Panruti, celebrated for unmatched natural sweetness and richness.
Why Panruti Cashews are Globally Renowned
The town of Panruti in Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu, is known as the cashew capital of the region. The red laterite soil is uniquely rich in iron and essential minerals, combined with a tropical microclimate that imparts a distinctive natural sweetness, creamy texture, and golden-yellow tint.
At MuthuvelCashews, we preserve these natural properties through precision steam peeling without chemical soaking or artificial bleaches.
From Orchard Harvest to Vacuum Tin
Our hygienic 6-stage steam processing facility at Nadukuppam guarantees zero contamination and maximum freshness.
Raw Nut Procurement
We source fully matured, sun-dried raw cashew nuts harvested from the legendary orchards of Panruti and surrounding Cuddalore belt.
Controlled Steam Roasting
Nuts are conditioned in computerized steam boilers to loosen the hard outer shell while preserving the delicate white kernel and healthy natural oil content inside.
Shelling & Kernel Extraction
Shelling machines extract intact whole kernels without bruising. Broken bits are separated immediately for specialized commercial piece grades.
Borma Drying & Peeling
Kernels enter gentle hot-air Borma chambers to reduce moisture to < 5%. The reddish-brown testa skin is carefully peeled off to reveal glistening ivory cashew nuts.
Optical & Hand Grading
Nuts are separated by kernel size, weight, and count into all 8 commercial grades (W180, W210, W240, W320, JH, LWP, SWP, BB).
Vacuum Sealing & Nitrogen Flush
Immediate packaging into 10 kg vacuum-sealed food-grade tins and 25 kg nitrogen-flushed multi-layer pouches to lock in natural sweetness for 12 months.
