About Plain cashews

Plain cashews are a nutrient-rich snack and versatile ingredient derived from the seeds of the cashew tree, native to Brazil and cultivated in tropical regions worldwide. Naturally soft and creamy, cashews are enjoyed raw or roasted and feature prominently in Indian, African, and Asian cuisines. They are loaded with healthy fats, protein, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium, copper, and zinc, supporting heart health, bone strength, and energy metabolism. Rich in antioxidants, they may help combat inflammation and oxidative stress. However, cashews are calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation to avoid excessive fat intake. Additionally, salted or flavored varieties may contain added sodium or sugars that diminish their natural health benefits. Plain cashews are a versatile choice for plant-based diets, offering natural richness and a mild, slightly sweet flavor that enhances savory and sweet recipes alike.
