About One spoon of cashew nuts
One spoon of cashew nuts, approximately 15 grams, delivers a nutritious punch in a small serving. Native to Brazil and popular in cuisines worldwide, particularly in Indian, African, and Southeast Asian dishes, cashews have a creamy texture and mildly sweet flavor. This serving size contains healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which support heart health. It also provides proteins for muscle maintenance and micronutrients such as magnesium, phosphorus, copper, and zinc, benefiting bone health, energy production, and immune function. However, cashews are calorie-dense, with around 80 calories per spoonful, so portion control is key. They’re naturally cholesterol-free but should be consumed unsalted to avoid excess sodium. Cashews are an excellent snack or culinary addition that balances taste and nutrition when enjoyed in moderation.
