Kaju, commonly known as cashew, is a kidney-shaped nut native to Brazil but widely cultivated in tropical regions, including India and Africa. It is a popular ingredient in Indian, Southeast Asian, and African cuisines, often used in savory curries, desserts, or as a snack. Cashews are packed with nutrients, including healthy fats, protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, and iron. They also contain antioxidants that support heart health and promote better immunity. Despite their health benefits, cashews are calorie-dense, so portion control is key, especially for those managing weight. Unsalted and unroasted varieties are the healthiest options, as processed versions often contain added oils and sodium. Their creamy texture and mild flavor make them a versatile and nutritious addition to any diet.
