About Half cup cashews
Half Cup Cashews are a nutrient-rich snack or ingredient commonly used in Asian, Indian, and African cuisines. Cashews are actually seeds derived from the cashew apple, native to tropical regions such as Brazil and India. This serving size provides approximately 390 calories, 12 grams of protein, and is packed with healthy fats, predominantly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which support heart health. Cashews are also an excellent source of magnesium, copper, and zinc, essential minerals that play key roles in energy production, immunity, and bone health. They contain antioxidants such as vitamin E, promoting cellular protection. However, one drawback is their high-calorie density, which means moderation is important for those looking to manage weight. While raw or lightly roasted cashews offer the most nutritional benefits, heavily salted or sweetened variations may diminish their health value. Versatile and flavorful, cashews can be used in everything from salads to vegan cream sauces.
