Crushed cashews are finely chopped or ground pieces of cashew nuts, prized for their creamy texture and nutty flavor. Native to Brazil, cashews are now a staple in global cuisines, particularly in Indian, Thai, and African cooking, where they are used in curries, sauces, desserts, and garnishes. Rich in healthy fats, protein, and essential vitamins like B6 and E, crushed cashews are a great source of magnesium, zinc, and iron, promoting heart health and supporting bone strength. Their natural sweetness makes them a versatile ingredient for both savory and sweet dishes. However, they are calorie-dense and can contribute to weight gain when consumed in excess, especially if salted or roasted with added oils. Enjoy crushed cashews in moderation as part of a balanced diet to reap their nutritional benefits without overindulgence.
