About Castanhas de caju

Castanhas de Caju, commonly known as cashew nuts, are kidney-shaped seeds originating from the cashew tree native to Brazil. Popular in Brazilian cuisine, these nuts are prized for their creamy texture and subtly sweet, buttery taste. Cashew nuts are rich in healthy fats, primarily monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which support heart health. They're also a good source of protein, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, and zinc, which contribute to bone health, energy production, and immune function. Additionally, cashews contain antioxidants such as vitamin E, promoting skin and cellular health. While nutritious, they're calorie-dense, making portion control important for managing weight. They are typically enjoyed roasted or raw and used in a variety of dishes worldwide, from trail mixes and desserts to savory sauces and curries.
