Cashewnoten, or cashew nuts, are kidney-shaped seeds that originate from the cashew tree, native to Brazil but popular worldwide, especially in Asian, African, and Indian cuisines. Rich in nutrients, they contain healthy fats, protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, and copper. Cashews are a good source of antioxidants, including vitamin E, which supports immune health. Their monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats promote heart health when consumed in moderation. While naturally low in sugar, they are calorie-dense, so portion control is key. Cashews are versatile, often enjoyed as a snack, blended into creamy sauces, or incorporated into both savory and sweet dishes. However, some processed varieties may be salted or contain added sugars, making them less healthy. Eating raw or dry-roasted cashews is the best option for maximizing their health benefits.
