About Kaju nut

Kaju, more commonly known as cashew nuts, originate from the tropical regions of Brazil but are now widely associated with Indian, African, and Southeast Asian cuisines. These kidney-shaped nuts are rich in healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iron. They're a notable source of heart-friendly monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, which can support overall cardiovascular health. Cashews also provide vitamins like B6 and E, contributing to energy metabolism and skin health. However, they are calorie-dense, so moderation is key, particularly if you're managing weight. Often used in traditional dishes, creamy sauces, and desserts, cashews are versatile and nutrient-packed, making them a popular ingredient worldwide. Avoid salted or heavily processed varieties to maximize health benefits.
