Rancrisp Curry Leaves Cashew Nuts are whole Sri Lankan cashews roasted and seasoned with curry leaves, one of the most characterful flavourings in the island's kitchen. The result is a savoury, aromatic snack with a satisfying crunch — recognisably Sri Lankan in character, yet straightforward enough to travel well and appeal to anyone who appreciates a properly seasoned nut.
Rancrisp was founded in Ja-Ela, north of Colombo, and the company's own factory there was the first sophisticated cashew processing plant of its kind in Sri Lanka. The cashews are sourced from farmers across the island, then inspected and graded before processing. Every pack carries the declaration '100% Pure Sri Lankan Cashew', and the brand holds ISO 22000, HACCP, and GMP certifications — the ISO 22000 certification is a distinction that, by Rancrisp's own account, no other Sri Lankan cashew processor holds. The brand name itself reflects the founders' intent: 'Ran' means gold in Sinhala, paired with 'crisp' to describe the texture they set out to deliver.
The curry leaves flavour sits within a wider range of Rancrisp cashew varieties — devilled, salted, sugar-coated, Kithul jaggery-coated, and others — but it occupies a distinct place as a nod to the Sri Lankan habit of tempering food with fresh curry leaves. The packaging nutrition panel records fat at 48.2 g per 100 g, sugar at 7.7 g per 100 g, and salt at 1.12 g per 100 g, giving a clear picture of what you are buying before the bag is opened.
The range comes in four formats to suit different occasions. The 100 g stand-up pouch with a transparent window is a compact option for personal use or gifting. The 200 g clear polythene bag keeps things simple. The 250 g cylindrical tub with a white lid is a practical choice if resealability matters. The 500 g flat-bottom stand-up pouch, finished in green and gold with a foil top panel, is the format for those who go through cashews at a serious rate or want something presentable on a table. Rancrisp exports to the United States, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and the Maldives, so the product is accustomed to leaving the island in good order.
