Broken Cashews – Large Pieces

Broken cashews are cashew kernels that have split into smaller chunks, and these large pieces are still big enough to chew and see in a dish. They suit cooking, baking and blending, where the shape of a whole cashew does not matter.

Cashews have a mild, slightly sweet, buttery taste and a firm, crisp bite. The large pieces keep some of that texture when you chop them, stir them into a curry or scatter them over rice.

Ways to Use Broken Cashews

Large cashew pieces work well in any dish where the nuts get chopped, ground or blended anyway. Here are some common uses:

  • Blend into the sauce for a creamy korma or butter masala
  • Make cashew cream for soups, pasta sauces and curries
  • Stir into fried rice, pilau or vegetable biryani
  • Toss into stir-fries and noodle dishes near the end of cooking
  • Add to flapjacks, granola, cookies and banana bread
  • Grind into homemade cashew nut butter
  • Mix into trail mix with raisins and seeds

Broken Cashews or Whole Cashews?

Broken cashews and whole cashews are the same nut, so the choice depends on how you plan to use them. Whole cashews look better on a snack bowl or a festive platter. Broken pieces do the same job when the nuts are going into a sauce, a bake or a blender.

Large pieces are also easier to chop evenly than tiny crumbs. They give you chunky bits for topping a dish, and they still blend down smoothly when you need a paste.

How to Prepare Broken Cashews

For a smooth cashew cream or paste, soak the pieces in hot water first. Leave them for about 15 to 30 minutes, then drain and blend with fresh water. The soaked nuts go soft and blend much more easily.

For a nutty topping, toast the pieces in a dry frying pan over a medium heat. Stir often and take them off as soon as they turn light golden, as cashews colour quickly.

Broken Cashews FAQ

Can I use broken cashews instead of whole cashews?

Yes, in most recipes you can swap them one for one by weight. They work best in sauces, curries, baking and blending, where the shape of the nut is not important.

Do I need to soak broken cashews for cashew cream?

Soaking helps, though it is not strictly required if you have a strong blender. A short soak in hot water, or a longer one in cold water, gives a smoother and creamier result.

What are large pieces?

Large pieces are chunks of cashew that are bigger than crumbs or small bits. They are usually part of a cashew that has split or snapped, so sizes can vary a little from piece to piece.

Add these broken cashews to your basket for your next creamy curry sauce, batch of cashew cream or tray of flapjacks.

Disclaimer

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging. If you receive a product that is broken, leaking, materially damaged, unsafe, unusable or otherwise not as described, please contact us within 24 Hours of delivery by email or telephone and provide your order number, details of the issue and clear photographs of the damaged product and packaging. We may require further information or evidence to investigate the matter and, where necessary, may take up to 14 days to complete our investigation. Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect. Product images displayed on our website are for illustration and presentation purposes only. Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
