Parlan Premium Raw Four-Kernel Mixed Nuts

Because raw kernels undergo no roasting pasteurization, microbiological surveillance is doubly rigorous. Prior to blending, each component passes multi-spectral UV darkroom and optical sorters to isolate stained or damaged kernels. Destructive samples undergo HPLC testing, securing clearance only when aflatoxin presence is verified beneath strict limits.

All kernels are sourced from premium super-size brackets: long whole Iranian pistachios, premium W240/W320 whole white cashews, 14–16 mm whole hazelnuts, and large uniform tree almonds. Calibrated screening sieves eliminate halves, splits, and undersized fragments prior to the final blending phase.

Raw nut kernels retain intrinsic moisture and highly active polyunsaturated fatty acids that oxidize rapidly when exposed to air. Hermetically evacuating atmospheric oxygen inside dense 5-ply multi-barrier vacuum pouches arrests enzymatic lipolysis and oxidative decay, locking in orchard freshness for up to 12 months.

The baseline wholesale MOQ is 50 master cartons (500 kg net). Consignments mandate cold storage at 4°C to 8°C with relative humidity kept under 40%. Extended staging at room ambient temperatures accelerates endogenous lipase activity, which compromises fatty acid integrity.

The certified COA details screening for foodborne pathogens (Salmonella, E. coli), Total Plate Count (TPC), Free Fatty Acids (FFA), Peroxide Value (<1.5 meq/kg), multi-residue pesticide screens, and heavy metal assays verified by certified accredited testing authorities.

Yes; Parlan provides contract manufacturing services for volume orders, facilitating packing into windowed Kraft stand-up pouches, rigid transparent vacuum trays, or PET containers (250 g, 450 g, 900 g) with nitrogen-flushed atmospheres and custom branding.

Rather than using abrasive paddle mixers, blending utilizes slow-revolving tumbling drums fitted with food-grade silicone baffles. This gentle gravity-driven tumbling prevents impact shear, safeguarding pistachio beaks and cashew kernel integrity against breakage.
