About Caju
Caju, commonly known as cashew fruit, is native to Brazil and widely used in tropical and savory dishes. This vibrant fruit features an edible, kidney-shaped cashew nut attached beneath its fleshy, pear-shaped peduncle. While the nut is rich in healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium and zinc, the fruit itself is loaded with vitamin C, iron, and antioxidants, promoting a strong immune system and skin health. The cashew nut, frequently consumed roasted or used in nut butters, offers heart-healthy unsaturated fats but should be eaten in moderation due to its calorie density. Caju juice, derived from the fruit’s pulpy flesh, is popular for its refreshing, tangy flavor. Both the nut and fruit contribute to versatile cuisine such as stews, salads, and snacks. While true to its nutritious profile, it’s best relished with attention to portion sizes and preparation methods.
