About Natural cashews

Natural cashews are nutrient-rich nuts derived from the cashew tree, native to Brazil but widely grown in tropical regions, including India and Southeast Asia. These kidney-shaped nuts are packed with protein, healthy fats, and vital nutrients such as magnesium, phosphorus, copper, and iron, making them a versatile ingredient in global cuisines. From creamy curries in Indian cooking to topping salads or desserts, cashews are loved for their creamy texture and slightly sweet flavor. They are an excellent source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, supporting cardiovascular health, and their abundance of antioxidants helps combat free radicals. While lower in fiber compared to other nuts, cashews are naturally cholesterol-free and provide energy-dense calories, making portion control essential. Enjoyed raw, roasted, or blended into dairy-free milks and butter, natural cashews are a wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
