Vengurla
B tier
Vengurla cashew refers to improved Konkan-region selections and research-linked stocks associated with Maharashtra’s coastal breeding work. Growers favour them for a balance of yield, kernel recovery, and the creamy mild flavour that sells in domestic and export grades. Compared with anonymous seedling orchards, named Vengurla-type material aims at more predictable nut size and outturn for commercial shelling. Kernels should roast evenly and grind into smooth paste without harsh bitterness. Reject lots that smell of old oil despite the improved-cultivar name—genetics cannot fix a hot warehouse. Useful for buyers who want Indian research pedigree on the invoice. Sample- toast before large pastry runs; consistent size helps even colour in the oven.

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