About Cashew seeds

Cashew seeds, commonly referred to as cashew nuts, are kidney-shaped seeds harvested from the cashew apple, native to regions of Brazil but now widely grown in tropical climates worldwide. A key ingredient in Indian, Asian, and African cuisines, cashews boast a rich, buttery flavor and creamy texture, making them versatile in both savory dishes and desserts. Nutritionally, they are packed with healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals such as magnesium, copper, and zinc, which support heart health, bone strength, and immune function. Cashews are also a good source of antioxidants like vitamin E. While nutrient-rich, their high-calorie content and fat levels mean moderation is important for balanced consumption. Cashew seeds are typically sold raw or roasted and make for a delicious snack or addition to meals, offering a healthy dose of energy and vitality.
