Cashews are kidney-shaped seeds harvested from the cashew tree, native to Brazil, but now widely grown in tropical regions worldwide. Known for their creamy texture and mildly sweet flavor, they are a staple ingredient in cuisines like Indian, Thai, and African dishes, often used in curries, stir-fries, or desserts. Cashews are rich in healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated fats that support heart health. They also provide a good source of plant-based protein, iron, magnesium, and zinc, making them an energy-boosting snack and beneficial for bone health and immune function. Cashews contain antioxidants such as vitamin E, which contribute to skin health and protection against oxidative stress. While nutrient-dense, cashews are calorie-rich and should be consumed in moderation, especially if they are roasted in oil or salted, which can increase sodium and calorie intake. Enjoy them raw, roasted, or blended into spreads for maximum versatility and flavor.
