Most Philippine bakeries are overpaying for cashews. SP (Small Pieces) delivers the same result as whole-kernel grades in sans rival, polvoron, fillings, and pastes -- at 25 to 40 percent lower cost per kilogram. This guide maps every grade from SP and LP to W180 to the applications that actually call for them, explains the grading system, and shows how a smart grade mix can reduce blended cashew cost by 15 to 30 percent without affecting product quality.
