About Kaju nuts

Kaju nuts, commonly known as cashews, are nutrient-dense seeds originating from the tropical climates of Brazil, now widely grown in countries like India and Vietnam. These crescent-shaped nuts are celebrated in various global cuisines, particularly Indian, African, and Southeast Asian, adding rich flavor and creamy texture to dishes. Packed with healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iron, cashews support bone health, boost immunity, and promote heart health. They are also a good source of antioxidants, including vitamin E, which helps combat oxidative stress. Despite their benefits, cashews are calorie-dense, so moderation is key to prevent overconsumption. Often consumed roasted, salted, or as cashew butter, they can be a delicious, nutritious snack or ingredient. However, those with nut allergies should avoid cashews, and salted or sugary varieties may diminish their health value. For optimal nutrition, opt for raw or lightly roasted unsalted cashews.
