Field notes from Someshwar, Nashik — what really impacts quality

We track moisture, temperature, and box strength daily to ensure your order arrives in perfect condition.

Monsoon Drying Windows

Between June and August, effective sun‑hours drop by 25–35%. We switch to partial shade nets from 11 AM to 3 PM and increase turning frequency from 3× to 5× per day. Raisin moisture is kept at 15% before final finish to avoid case hardening.

Nitrogen and Shelf Life

For almonds and cashews, nitrogen flushing combined with 18°C storage extends crispness by about 10 weeks. For raisins we avoid excess nitrogen to keep texture natural; instead we add a 1 g silica gel per 500 g pack.

Box Strength and Breakage

Double‑wall 5‑ply boxes reduce transit dents by nearly 40% on Mumbai–Pune route. For >15 kg consignments we strap boxes in pairs to avoid top compression in hubs.

Temperature Control in Transit

During peak summer, we use insulated liners and early-morning dispatch to keep product temperature below 28°C. This helps maintain nut crispness and prevents raisin stickiness, especially for long-distance deliveries.

Common Questions About Ordering from Someshwar

Common questions about shipping and delivery

Cashews can soften during transit if boxes sit in humid courier hubs for 24+ hours, especially during monsoon. We add nitrogen flushing and silica gel to minimize this. If your cashews feel soft on arrival, spread them on a tray and heat at 80°C for 5–6 minutes in an oven to restore crunch.

Yes, if you need a particular harvest for consistency. We stock batches from the last 3–4 months. Mention your preference in order notes and we'll check availability. Older batches (4+ months) are offered at 10% discount if they're still within shelf life.

We keep raisin moisture at 14–15% and add 1 g silica gel per 500 g pack. Boxes are dispatched early morning to avoid peak heat. For summer months (April–June), we use insulated liners on long‑distance routes. If raisins still clump, shake the pouch gently or refrigerate for 10 minutes — they'll separate easily.

Batch IDs let you trace each pouch back to the harvest month, drying platform, and moisture test result. If you're selling to retail or hotels, you can provide this traceability to meet FSSAI compliance. We keep batch records for 18 months and share moisture/aflatoxin reports on request.

Yes, for bulk orders above 50 kg. Mention all delivery cities in your order form. We pack and label each address separately. Shipping cost is calculated per destination. Common for corporate gifting during Diwali when companies send to multiple branch offices.

Bluedart and Delhivery attempt delivery twice. If both attempts fail, the package goes to the nearest hub for self‑pickup. You'll receive SMS with hub address and pickup hours. Packages are held for 5 days before return. We do not charge for reshipment if first delivery failed due to courier error.
