About Cajou
Cajou, commonly known as cashew, is a kidney-shaped nut native to Brazil but widely cultivated in tropical regions, including West Africa and India. Renowned for its buttery texture and mildly sweet flavor, cajou is a versatile ingredient in both savory and sweet dishes across cuisines such as Indian, Thai, and African. Rich in nutrients, it provides healthy fats, protein, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, and copper. Cashews are a source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants that support overall well-being. However, they are calorie-dense, so moderation is key for those mindful of weight management. Typically consumed raw, roasted, or blended into creamy spreads, cajou is also processed into dairy-free alternatives like cashew milk and cheese. While not ideal for individuals with nut allergies, its nutritional profile makes it a popular choice for plant-based diets and snacking.
