About Handfuk of cashew nuts
Cashew nuts, native to Brazil and widely cultivated in tropical regions, are a versatile and nutritious snack or culinary ingredient. Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, they may support cardiovascular health when enjoyed in moderation. Packed with protein, fiber, and essential vitamins such as B6, K, and E, cashews also provide critical minerals like magnesium, copper, and zinc, which contribute to bone health, immune function, and energy production. While they’re a nutrient-dense option, their calorie content is significant, making portion control important. Popular in global cuisines, particularly South Asian, African, and vegan dishes, cashews often serve as a dairy alternative when blended into creamy sauces. Avoid salted or overly processed varieties to maximize health benefits, as added sodium and sugars can reduce the nutritional value. Whether enjoyed raw, roasted, or incorporated into recipes, cashew nuts are a flavorful addition to a balanced diet when consumed mindfully.
