Anakkayam
B tier
Anakkayam cashew is a Kerala-linked regional selection known in Indian orchard and processing circles for improved lean performance under local conditions. The name helps growers and buyers talk about a particular planting stream rather than mixed seedling stands. Kernel flavour stays sweet and creamy with the soft crunch typical of good south- west Indian stock. Specify Anakkayam when you want Kerala-adjacent traceability finer than the state name alone. Judge deliveries on grade, colour, and oil freshness. Excellent for traditional kaju cookery and for ingredient packs marketed with Kerala provenance. Keep cool after purchase—regional fame does not stop humidity from ageing high-oil kernels.

History
Anakkayam type cashew was selected or named in commercial and orchard practice as growers refined regional stocks.
Orchard and trade grading spread Anakkayam beyond its first districts where climate allowed.
Anakkayam entered wider export catalogues as named-variety marketing grew for nuts.
Specialty buyers continued to request Anakkayam for predictable flavour and size in roasting and baking.
