Cashew kernels, harvested from the tropical cashew tree native to Brazil and now widely cultivated in regions like India, Vietnam, and Africa, are creamy, curved nuts prized for their rich flavor and versatile use in global cuisines. Packed with essential nutrients, they contain healthy fats, protein, and a wealth of vitamins and minerals like magnesium, iron, and vitamin K. Cashews are known to support heart health, bone strength, and energy metabolism, thanks to their unsaturated fats and nutrient profile. While naturally lower in sugar, their calorie density and fat content mean moderation is key for balanced consumption. Commonly enjoyed as snacks, blended into dairy-free creams, or incorporated into Asian and Indian dishes, cashews add texture, flavor, and nutrients to a wide array of recipes. Whether raw, roasted, or lightly salted, these kernels offer both indulgence and nourishment.
