About Nuts cashew

Cashews are creamy, kidney-shaped nuts native to South America, particularly Brazil, but are widely cultivated in tropical regions like India and Southeast Asia. Technically seeds of the cashew apple, they are prized for their rich, buttery flavor and versatility in cuisines worldwide, from Indian curries to vegan cheese recipes. Cashews are packed with nutrients, including heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, plant-based protein, and essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, and copper. They contribute to bone health, energy production, and immune function. While cashews are nutrient-dense, they are calorie-rich, so moderation is key for balanced consumption. They also contain antioxidants that promote overall cell health. Typically sold roasted or raw, they often come salted or sweetened, which can reduce their health benefits. Cashews are a wholesome snack and a nutritious ingredient, adding flavor and texture to diverse culinary creations.
