About Raw cashew nut

Raw cashew nuts are nutrient-rich seeds commonly enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in South Asian, African, and Southeast Asian dishes. Native to Brazil, these kidney-shaped nuts are harvested from the cashew tree's fruit and consumed without roasting or seasoning. Packed with healthy monounsaturated fats, they support heart health and provide a source of plant-based protein. Cashews are also high in essential minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc, as well as vitamins such as B6 and K. Their natural carbohydrate content offers steady energy, while their fiber aids digestion. However, raw cashews contain small amounts of urushiol, a compound that may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Moderation is key, as their caloric density can contribute to weight gain if overconsumed. Versatile and nourishing, raw cashews are a wholesome addition to snacks, salads, and recipes for those seeking a balanced diet.
