Technical Information
- Production Methods:
Kanegrade’s nut products are produced using a variety of methods, including dry roasting, oil roasting, blanching, grinding, and milling. For powders and flours, nuts may be processed whole or in-shell, using techniques such as wet-milling to achieve the desired fineness and functionality. - Functional Properties:
Nut powders and flours contribute natural flavour, texture, and nutritional value. They can be used as gluten-free flour alternatives, provide emulsification and thickening, and enhance mouthfeel and richness in a wide range of food products. Nut pastes offer smoothness and spreadability for confectionery and dairy alternatives. - Nutritional Profile:
Nut products are rich in plant-based protein, unsaturated fats, dietary fibre, vitamins (such as E and B group), and minerals including magnesium, calcium, and potassium. Processing methods are designed to retain the maximum nutritional value and natural antioxidants present in the raw nuts.
- Formats and Solubility:
Available in a range of particle sizes from fine powders to coarse meals, as well as creamy pastes. Fat and fibre content can be tailored to suit specific application needs, and solubility or dispersibility can be adjusted for beverages or instant products. - Shelf Life and Storage:
Nut products are shelf-stable when stored in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight. Low moisture content helps maintain freshness, flavour, and nutritional quality. Proper packaging is essential to prevent oxidation and preserve shelf life.
MOQs and Packaging:
Pack sizes are typically 10-25Kg, with MOQs of 250Kg.
