Cashew nuts, native to Brazil but widely cultivated across tropical regions, are a versatile and nutrient-rich snack. Known for their creamy texture and subtly sweet flavor, these kidney-shaped seeds are often used in Asian, Indian, and African cuisines. Cashews are packed with essential nutrients including heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, protein, magnesium, and vitamins like K and B6. They support bone health, aid in energy production, and promote brain function. While cashews are lower in fat compared to some other nuts, they are calorie-dense, so portion control is key. Additionally, raw cashews should always be properly processed to remove natural toxins. Whether eaten on their own or added to dishes like stir-fries, desserts, or nut butter, cashews are a delicious way to boost your diet with fiber, antioxidants, and plant-based proteins.
