Cashew Pieces, Large, Raw, 10# Bulk

Delicious I love the cashews. Excellent. Good price

We regularly make milk, chocolate milk, and ice cream from cashews, which are the creamiest nuts! We are pleased with the quality of the cashews and the good price in bulk.

I was a little nervous buying raw cashews after the variety of reviews I saw online combined with the larger than normal monetary investment needed just to try them. I found this item to be the most reasonably priced with the best reviews online and at area coops, and I liked the security of knowing that Amazon was delivering and would probably help with a return if necessary (though one reviewer had mentioned the company was very helpful with the return).We were surprised with the cashews texture, they are softer than we were used to, but then again, we, as most people, are used to ROASTED cashews and these are raw (though cashews you buy raw are actually partially steamed to remove the toxins from the shell), so of course they won't taste the exactly same or have the same texture, nothing else has identical texture or flavor raw or roasted.My advice is give these a chance- they appear to be a quality product and I can't wait to start cooking with them and even roasting them with different spices for snacking- yum!

My family has been buying these cashews for a few years now. They are fantastic for dairy alternatives for soups and cheese and all kinds of plant-based stuff, love them. And definitely a better deal than the grocery store and less packaging than trader Joe's. Also very few bad nuts that need removing.

Edited 4/9/2020The package of cashews I received had a label marked best by June 2001. I contacted the seller.Seller responded the same day and offered to accept a return and send shipping labels. They said they weren’t in business in 2001 and the label was most likely a misprint for a true best by date of June 2021. They offered that if I preferred to keep the nuts they would issue a $10 credit for the inconvenience.I kept the nuts and accepted the credit. They look fresh and taste fine, and they are great for vegan cheese-making and cashew milk.Very happy!!

I’ve been buying cashew pieces locally to make vegan yogurt and cheese, since there’s no reason to waste money on whole cashews I’m just going to grind up. I thought these bulk cashews would be the same, but they’re not.These aren’t just broken, they’re spotted with lots of dark things I don’t want in my finished products. There are lots of bits of dark brown membrane stuck to the surfaces. There are also lots of dark pits, almost tunnels, in them, which google tells me are from the tools used to remove the membrane, pressing some membrane into the nutmeat. I don’t mean a few pieces are flawed, I mean the vast majority of the pieces have prominent dark spots.They taste fine, but if I use them as-is, my vegan yogurt etc has lots of dark spots, which isn’t the look I’m going for. Or I can pick them over after I soak them to remove the worst of the spots, which is tedious.The finished products taste great, so I’m taking off just one star for aesthetics.

I have begun to go to plant based diet transitioning the family so I wanted to start with my own milk and meat substitute, cashew cream, cheese, etc. These cashews are in my opinion excellent in price and taste. I keep them frozen so they remain fresh and take out what I need as needed.I would absolutely encourage buying these cashews I believe you'll find them worth the price AND fresh tasting. Hopefully they stay affordable but more importantly so fresh and delicious!!!

One of the hardest issue to deal with when buying raw Cashews is the issue of dirt - cashews tend to grow and get processed in areas that are not always the cleanest and sometimes they comes quite discolored from their raw Ivory color and tend to be brownish and actually show stains from soiling during handling - Nothing is more likely to disappoint the purchaser more than a product that looks like it needs a heavy cleaning before you eat it.These were reasonably clean, fresh, well packaged and shipped fast- Fast - FAST! They were also reasonably priced.
