About Large handful cashews
A large handful of cashews, approximately 1 ounce (about 18-20 nuts), is a nutrient-dense snack originating from tropical regions like Brazil, India, and Vietnam. These kidney-shaped nuts are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, plant-based protein, and essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, and copper, which support bone health, immunity, and energy production. Cashews also contain iron and small amounts of vitamin K and antioxidants that can contribute to overall wellness. They are naturally cholesterol-free and lower in fat compared to some other nuts, making them a balanced choice when eaten in moderation. However, their calorie density means portion control is key to avoid overconsumption. Cashews are versatile and commonly used in both savory and sweet cuisines, from stir-fries and curries to vegan creams and desserts. Enjoy them raw, roasted, or lightly salted for a satisfying, wholesome treat.
