The JH cashew grade stands for “Jumbo Half”, and it refers to large-sized cashew kernels that are split into halves. These are not whole nuts like the W grades (e.g., W320 or W240), but they are still of high quality in terms of color, texture, and taste.
🔹 What “JH” Means:
•J = Jumbo (indicates a large size)
•H = Halves (the cashew is split into two equal parts)
So, JH = Jumbo Halves — large cashew kernels broken cleanly into halves during processing.
🔹 Characteristics:
•Size: Large halves, bigger than standard halves like the “Scorched Halves” or regular “White Halves”
•Color: White to pale ivory (premium grade)
•Texture/Taste: Same buttery, rich taste as whole cashews
•Appearance: Cleanly split halves, uniform size
🔹 Common Uses:
•Cooking (especially in Indian cuisine for gravies, sweets like kaju katli, and rice dishes)
•Snacks (often roasted or spiced)
•Confectionery (ideal for sweets and desserts where whole cashews aren’t necessary)
•Garnishing (in biryanis, halwas, or kheer)
🔹 Benefits of JH Grade:
•More economical than whole grades like W180 or W240
•Less wastage in recipes where cashew halves are preferred or chopped anyway
•Still premium in terms of flavor and texture
🔹 Comparison to Other Halves:
| Grade | Type | Size | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| JH | Jumbo Halves | Very large | Premium cooking/snacking |
| WH | White Halves | Medium | General-purpose cooking |
| SH | Scorched Halves | Medium | Slightly lower in appearance |
| SWP | Small White Pieces | Small | Sweets, sauces, powder use |
✅ When to Use JH Grade:
•When you want high-quality cashew halves but don’t need whole kernels
•Perfect for restaurants, caterers, or home cooks looking for value without sacrificing quality
