Cashew halves are nutrient-rich portions of cashew nuts, harvested from the kidney-shaped seeds of the cashew apple, native to South America but widely cultivated in tropical regions. They are a versatile ingredient, popular in both sweet and savory cuisines worldwide, including Indian, Southeast Asian, and Mediterranean dishes. Cashews are high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and provide a good source of plant-based protein, magnesium, and antioxidants. They also contain iron and zinc, which contribute to immune support, as well as dietary fiber for digestive health. While cashews are generally healthy, their caloric density and relatively high fat content mean portion control is important to avoid excessive calorie intake. Typically sold roasted or raw, cashew halves are perfect for use in trail mixes, baking, or as a creamy base for dairy-free recipes. Their rich flavor and balanced nutrition make them a satisfying and beneficial snack or culinary addition.
