The BB cashew grade stands for Baby Bits, and it refers to the smallest-sized broken pieces of cashew kernels. These are very fine bits, often left over during the processing of whole and larger broken cashew grades.
Despite their tiny size, BB cashews have the same flavor and nutritional value as whole kernels, making them ideal for industrial use and recipes where the cashews are ground, blended, or used as a filler.
🔹 What “BB” Means:
• B = Baby
• B = Bits
So, BB = Baby Bits — very tiny, irregular cashew fragments.
🔹 Characteristics:
• Size: Smallest grade available — finer than SWP (Small White Pieces)
• Color: Typically white or off-white (may vary slightly)
• Shape: Very tiny, uneven fragments
• Texture/Taste: Slightly drier due to high surface area, but same rich nutty flavor
• Grade: Considered a low-cost utility grade (not visually appealing)
🔹 Common Uses:
• Cashew powder (easily ground for pastes or flours)
• Sweets and desserts (like kaju katli, pedas, laddoos, kheer)
• Cooking (blended into curries and gravies)
• Cashew butter/cream production
• Processed foods (ice creams, chocolates, protein bars)
• Snack industry (as an ingredient in spiced nut mixes or bars)
🔹 Comparison with Other Broken Grades:
| Grade | Type | Size | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| JPK | Jumbo Pieces Kernels | Very large | Visible pieces in cooking/snacks |
| LWP | Large White Pieces | Large | Chunks in sweets, baking |
| SWP | Small White Pieces | Small | Paste, sweets, baking |
| BB | Baby Bits | Very tiny | Powder, industrial use |
| SSP | Scorched Small Pieces | Small, brownish | Budget cooking or roasting |
