A kilo of almonds on Amazon costs Rs. 899 or Rs. 1,598, and thirteen separate listings charge exactly Rs. 999 for it.
We read Amazon's nut and ghee shelves on 25 September 2026 and priced every listing by the kilo. Below: where the sub-Rs. 1,000 kilos are and what their review counts look like, the five cashew packs sharing one price and five different ratings, and the Rs. 299 litre of ghee that is not for cooking.
📅 Shelf read 25 September 2026
Almonds Rs. 899 to Rs. 1,598 a kilo; cashews Rs. 749 to Rs. 1,898
13 almond listings share one price of Rs. 999 and rate from 2.1 to 5.0
📅 Update log:
25 Sep 2026 — first published. The 120 listings came from amazon.in's own search results for "almonds 1kg", "cashew 1kg" and "ghee 1 litre", read as a logged-out visitor in India with nothing purchased. Only the 106 listings whose titles state a weight or volume we could read without guessing are used in any per-kilo figure. No discount percentage appears anywhere on this page: Amazon prints a per-100g unit rate rather than an MRP on this shelf, so there is no stated MRP to compare against and we do not invent one. Amazon re-prices without notice, so we re-read these shelves and log what has changed here.
The cheap kilo and the low star rating arrive together
We pulled Amazon's results for "almonds 1kg", "cashew 1kg" and "ghee 1 litre" on 25 September 2026 and divided every price by the weight the listing itself states. A kilo of almonds costs between Rs. 899 and Rs. 1,598, with a median of Rs. 1,128. A kilo of cashews costs between Rs. 749 and Rs. 1,898, median Rs. 941. A litre of ghee runs from Rs. 299 to Rs. 2,890.
Then we grouped each shelf by price band and looked at what the ratings do. The pattern is the same on both nut shelves and it is not subtle. The 17 almond listings under Rs. 1,000 a kilo average 3.44 stars on a median of 18 reviews. The 10 between Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 1,300 average 4.02 stars on a median of 2,530 reviews. On cashews: 3.38 stars under Rs. 1,000 against 3.88 above it, with the median review count jumping from 69 to 2,864.
That is a correlation on one day's search results, not a law of nuts - and we set out below exactly what it is not evidence of. But it is a useful thing to know before you sort by price ascending. On this shelf, the cheapest kilo is usually also the least-reviewed and the worst-rated kilo, and the gap between Rs. 999 and Rs. 1,139 buys you the difference between 3.4 stars on 18 reviews and 4.0 stars on 11,980.

Thirteen listings at exactly Rs. 999 a kilo, rated 2.1 to 5.0
The Rs. 999 kilo of almonds is not one product. Thirteen separate listings sell a kilo of California almonds at exactly Rs. 999, from eleven brand names - Go Vegan (twice), GreenFinity, NUTRIZAIKA, Eatmate, PrettyNutty, JUNGLE FLORA, NUTVAYA, HELIUM, HighFresh, THE NUT LUXURY and one listing with no brand in the title at all.
What separates them is entirely on the review side. Their star averages run from 2.1 to 5.0 with a mean of 3.37, and their review counts run from 2 to 3,032. Go Vegan's listing carries 3.5 from 3,032 reviews; NUTVAYA's carries 5.0 from four; NUTRIZAIKA's carries 2.1 from 13; the unbranded one carries 2.1 from 18. Same price, same stated weight, same words in the title.
The cashew shelf does the same thing inside a single brand. Five Avogro listings sell a 1kg pack of whole cashews at the same Rs. 879, and they are rated 1.2, 1.9, 2.2, 3.0 and 5.0 - on 41, 21, 131, 76 and one review respectively. A sixth Avogro listing is Rs. 849 and rated 2.7 from 61. If you are choosing between them on price you are choosing between identical numbers.

Almonds: the whole shelf, cheapest kilo first
Thirty-five of the 40 almond listings state a weight we could read without guessing. The five we dropped are ones whose titles give a flavour or a grade but no gram figure.
The four largest review counts on the shelf all sit above Rs. 1,100 a kilo: Tulsi at Rs. 1,449 with 19,209 reviews, Vedaka's 500g pack at Rs. 1,190 a kilo with 16,967, Happilo at Rs. 1,349 with 14,111 and Vedaka's 1kg at Rs. 1,139 with 11,980. Below Rs. 1,000 a kilo, the largest count in the read is Go Vegan's 3,032.
Two listings are worth reading twice. Vedaka sells the same almonds at Rs. 1,139 a kilo (1kg pack) and Rs. 1,190 a kilo (500g pack) - the small pack costs 4.5 per cent more per kilo, which is the usual direction. And Tulsi's Gurbandi 500g at Rs. 799 works out at Rs. 1,598 a kilo, the dearest rate in the read, while the same brand's California 1kg at Rs. 1,449 is nine per cent cheaper per kilo - a different variety at a different rate from one seller.

₹ The check worth thirty seconds. Read the gram figure in the title, divide the price by it, and then look at the review count before the star average. On this shelf a 4.0 from 11,980 and a 5.0 from one review are both printed the same size, and Rs. 140 a kilo separates them.
Cashews: Rs. 749 to Rs. 1,898, and a 200g pack at Rs. 1,375 a kilo
Thirty-eight of 40 cashew listings state a readable weight. The band is Rs. 749 to Rs. 1,898 a kilo with a median of Rs. 941 - wider than almonds at the bottom and at the top.
Pack size behaves exactly as you would expect here, and it is worth seeing the size of the penalty. Tata Sampann's cashews cost Rs. 1,128 a kilo in the 1kg pack, Rs. 1,130 in the 500g pack and Rs. 1,375 in the 200g pack - the small jar is 22 per cent dearer per kilo than the big one, on the same product from the same brand. Vedaka's 500g pack is Rs. 1,198 a kilo against Rs. 1,049 for its 1kg broken-cashew pack, though those are different grades.
The largest review count in this entire read belongs to Vedaka's 500g whole cashews: 4.1 from 35,567. It is Rs. 1,198 a kilo - the ninth-dearest cashew rate on the shelf. The cheapest cashew rate, Rs. 749 a kilo, is a cashew-and-anjeer combo with a single review behind it.

Ghee spans 9.7 times, and the cheapest litre is not for cooking
Thirty-three ghee listings state a readable volume, and the band is the widest thing on this page: Rs. 299 to Rs. 2,890 a litre, a spread of 9.7 times, median Rs. 905.
The Rs. 299 listing deserves naming rather than leaving in a range. It is Swarajya India's Surya Jyoti Pooja Ghee - a lamp ghee, sold for ritual use, and the listing says so in its own title. Take it out and the cheapest litre in the read is Rs. 339. The mass-market tier sits between Rs. 604 and Rs. 995: Nestlé EVERYDAY at Rs. 604 with 12,504 reviews, Patanjali at Rs. 670 with 9,254, Amul at Rs. 676, Mother Dairy at Rs. 905 with 10,198 and again at Rs. 995 with 10,335.
Above that sits the A2 and bilona tier, and it is where almost all the price is. Gavyamart's A2 is Rs. 1,199 a litre, Anveshan's Gir cow ghee Rs. 2,180, Namakwali's Badri Rs. 2,799 and GirOrganic's Rs. 2,890 - that last one is 4.8 times the Nestlé EVERYDAY rate. Their ratings are high (4.1 to 4.3) and several have large samples - GirOrganic has 5,270 reviews, Anveshan's 2.5-litre dolchi has 8,353. This page prices them; it makes no claim at all about whether A2, bilona, Gir, Badri or grass-fed describes a difference you would taste or benefit from.

What the price-and-rating pattern is not evidence of
Nothing on this page was opened, weighed, tasted, cooked with or tested. Every per-kilo figure here is our own arithmetic - the listing's price divided by the weight the listing itself states - and it is a rate, not a price you can pay. No pack was opened and nothing was weighed, so a stated weight is the seller's figure and not ours.
The band-by-band rating pattern is a correlation across one day's search results and nothing more. It does not establish that cheaper nuts are worse nuts. Several other explanations fit the same numbers just as well: newer sellers price low to enter the shelf and have not accumulated reviews; a listing with 18 reviews has a star average that moves several tenths on one unhappy customer, while one with 12,000 barely moves at all; delivery, packaging and freshness complaints land on the seller's star average regardless of what is in the bag. We are reporting what the shelf shows, not diagnosing why.
"Premium", "California", "W320", "W180", "Non Pareil", "handpicked", "unpolished", "100% natural", "A2", "bilona", "grass-fed", "lab tested", "rich in protein" and every other phrase quoted here is each listing's own title text, reproduced as printed and not verified by us. Nothing here is nutritional, dietary, medical or food-safety advice, and each product's own label, ingredient list, allergen information and use-by date prevail over anything on this page.
Divide by the weight, then read the review count before the stars
The best-evidenced almond rates are Vedaka's 1kg at Rs. 1,139 a kilo (4.0 from 11,980) and Tata Sampann's at Rs. 1,283 (4.2 from 2,495). If you want the largest sample on the shelf regardless of rate, Tulsi's 1kg at Rs. 1,449 carries 19,209 reviews and Happilo's at Rs. 1,349 carries 14,111.
On cashews, Vedaka's 500g whole W320 at Rs. 1,198 a kilo has 35,567 reviews - more than any other listing in this read by a factor of nearly two - and Tata Sampann's 1kg at Rs. 1,128 is the cheapest rate with a four-figure sample behind it (4.2 from 1,628). Buy the 1kg rather than the 200g jar: same brand, 22 per cent less per kilo.
What we would not do is sort by price and take the top result - the Rs. 999 almond kilo exists thirteen times over and its ratings run from 2.1 to 5.0; read a 5.0 from one review as better than a 4.0 from 11,980; or treat the Rs. 299 litre of ghee as a bargain, since the listing itself describes it as a pooja ghee for lamps.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest kilo of almonds on Amazon?
In our 25 September 2026 read, Rs. 899 a kilo, for an Avogro pack that is half almonds and half cashews, carrying a single review. The cheapest plain-almond kilos are Rs. 989 (Avogro, 2.0 from 2 reviews; Flavour Foodie, 3.6 from 8) and Rs. 999, which thirteen separate listings charge. If you want a rate with a large review sample behind it, Amazon's own Vedaka is Rs. 1,139 a kilo with 4.0 from 11,980 reviews - Rs. 140 a kilo more than the Rs. 999 tier.
Are cheaper almonds on Amazon worse?
We cannot say that, and the page is careful not to. What we can report is the correlation: the 17 almond listings under Rs. 1,000 a kilo average 3.44 stars on a median of 18 reviews, while the 10 between Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 1,300 average 4.02 stars on a median of 2,530 reviews. Cashews show the same shape (3.38 against 3.88). That is consistent with quality differing, but equally consistent with new sellers pricing low and small review samples swinging on one complaint. Nothing on this page was opened or tasted.
Why do so many almond listings cost exactly Rs. 999 for 1kg?
Thirteen listings in our read sell a kilo of California almonds at exactly Rs. 999, under eleven brand names. Their star averages run from 2.1 to 5.0 and their review counts from 2 to 3,032 - so the price tells you nothing that separates them and the review count tells you everything. Go Vegan's listing has 3,032 reviews at 3.5 stars; NUTVAYA's has four at 5.0; NUTRIZAIKA's has 13 at 2.1. Sort this band by review count, not by price.
How much should a litre of ghee cost on Amazon?
The 33 listings we read span Rs. 299 to Rs. 2,890 a litre with a median of Rs. 905. The mass-market tier is Rs. 604 to Rs. 995 - Nestlé EVERYDAY at Rs. 604 (12,504 reviews), Patanjali at Rs. 670 (9,254), Amul at Rs. 676, Mother Dairy at Rs. 905 (10,198). The A2 and bilona tier runs Rs. 1,199 to Rs. 2,890, the top of it 4.8 times the Nestlé rate. Note that the Rs. 299 listing is a pooja ghee sold for lamps, by its own title, so the cooking range really starts at Rs. 339.
Is the bigger pack of nuts always cheaper per kilo on Amazon?
On this shelf, yes, where a brand lists more than one size - and the penalty is worth seeing. Tata Sampann's cashews are Rs. 1,128 a kilo in the 1kg pack, Rs. 1,130 in the 500g and Rs. 1,375 in the 200g jar: the small jar costs 22 per cent more per kilo than the large pack. Vedaka's almonds are Rs. 1,139 a kilo at 1kg and Rs. 1,190 at 500g, a 4.5 per cent penalty. The trap runs the other way too: Tulsi's Gurbandi 500g at Rs. 799 is Rs. 1,598 a kilo, the dearest rate here, because it is a different variety.
Prices & codes last verified: 25 September 2026
The shelves behind this page were read on 25 September 2026 as served to a logged-out visitor in India, with nothing purchased and no account used: 120 distinct listings from amazon.in's own search results for "almonds 1kg", "cashew 1kg" and "ghee 1 litre", 40 per query. Only the 106 listings whose titles state a weight or volume we could read without guessing are used in any per-kilo or per-litre figure on this page; listings giving a grade, a flavour or a count but no gram or millilitre figure are excluded from every number here regardless of price, because a rate computed from a number we guessed is not a rate. Every selling price, star average and review count is Amazon's own published figure reproduced without adjustment. No discount percentage or MRP appears anywhere on this page: on this shelf Amazon prints a per-100g unit rate where an MRP would otherwise sit, so there is no stated maximum retail price to compare a selling price against and we do not construct one. Every per-kilo and per-litre figure is our own arithmetic, the listing's price divided by the weight or volume it states, and is a rate rather than a price you can pay; no pack was opened, weighed or counted, so a stated weight is the seller's figure and not ours. Medians, means, price-band groupings and band counts are our own arithmetic over these listings on this date and describe this particular set rather than Amazon's full catalogue; a product Amazon sells that did not appear in these three searches would not appear here. The relationship this page reports between price band and star average is a correlation observed in one day's search results and is not offered as evidence that cheaper products are of lower quality: a listing with a small review count has a star average that moves on very few ratings, newer sellers commonly price low and have accumulated fewer reviews, and delivery, packaging and freshness complaints reach a seller's star average regardless of the product itself. Where several listings share an identical price, an identical stated weight or an identical review count, that is what the search page showed and is reported as such, not as an allegation. "Premium", "California", "Non Pareil", "W320", "W180", "Gurbandi", "Mamra", "handpicked", "unpolished", "100% natural", "A2", "bilona", "Gir", "Badri", "grass-fed", "lab tested", "danedar", "rich in protein", "high in fiber", "boosts immunity" and every other phrase quoted here is each listing's own title text, reproduced as printed and not verified by us. Nothing on this page was opened, weighed, tasted, cooked with or laboratory-tested, and no claim about grade, origin, purity, freshness, adulteration, nutritional content or health effect is made or implied. These are foods: nothing here is nutritional, dietary, medical or food-safety advice, nuts are a common allergen, and each product's own label, ingredient list, allergen declaration, storage guidance and use-by date prevail over anything on this page. The pack photographs in the banner are retail listing images of nut packs from brands priced on this page, uploaded to our own CDN; they illustrate the category and are not the source of any price here. No wrongdoing by Amazon, by any seller, or by Vedaka, Tata Sampann, Happilo, Tulsi, Nutraj, Yogabar, Wonderland Foods, Nature Prime, Go Vegan, GreenFinity, Avogro, HighFresh, NUTRIZAIKA, Bolas, ProV Select, Cube Root, Nestlé, Amul, Patanjali, Mother Dairy, Gits, GRB, Haldiram's, Anveshan, GirOrganic, Gavyamart, BAROSI, Namakwali, ROSIER or any other brand named is alleged or implied. Star averages and review counts are as published on the date of reading and change continuously. Prices change without notice; coupons, bank offers, subscribe-and-save discounts, delivery charges and anything applied at checkout can move your final price in either direction, and the price shown at your checkout prevails over anything here.
