About Handful cashew

Handful Cashews, sourced from the tropical regions of India, Africa, and Brazil, are a delicious and nutrient-packed snack. Known for their buttery texture and mildly sweet flavor, they’re often used in cuisines worldwide, from creamy Indian curries to rich desserts. Cashews are an excellent source of healthy fats, plant-based protein, and essential minerals like magnesium, copper, and zinc, supporting heart health and immunity. They also contain antioxidants, aiding in cell repair and protection. However, they are calorie-dense and can be high in sodium if salted, so portion control is advised. A handful—a typical serving size—is a smart way to enjoy their benefits without overindulging, making them a great choice for a satisfying snack or cooking ingredient.
