About Anacardos

Anacardos, also known as cashews, are nutrient-dense nuts native to Brazil but widely cultivated around the world, particularly in India and Vietnam. They are technically seeds from the cashew apple and valued for their creamy texture and mildly sweet flavor. Rich in healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, anacardos support heart health and provide sustained energy. They are also packed with essential nutrients like magnesium, copper, and zinc, contributing to bone health, immune function, and antioxidant defense. Additionally, their fiber and protein content promote satiety and digestive health. However, they can be calorie-dense, so portion control is key to reaping their benefits while avoiding excessive caloric intake. Versatile in cuisine, anacardos are featured in savory dishes, creamy sauces, and snacks across global culinary traditions. Whether eaten raw, roasted, or blended, these delicious nuts offer both taste and nutrition in a small package.
