Cashew nut powder is a finely ground product made from roasted or raw cashew nuts, widely used in cooking and baking for its creamy texture and mild, nutty flavor. Originating primarily from South Asia and Africa, cashews are a staple in Indian cuisine, where the powder is often used to thicken curries or enhance desserts like kheer and ladoo. Rich in healthy fats, protein, and essential nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and vitamin E, cashew nut powder offers heart health benefits and supports brain and immune function. However, despite its nutrient density, cashew powder is calorie-dense and contains carbohydrates, making portion control essential for those monitoring their caloric or carb intake. Naturally free of cholesterol and lactose, it’s a popular choice among vegans and those with dairy intolerance, adding richness and flavor to a variety of dishes without compromising nutrition.
