About Raw cashew nuts

Raw cashew nuts are a versatile and nutrient-rich food originally native to tropical regions, particularly South America and West Africa. Often associated with Indian, Southeast Asian, and African cuisines, they have a delicate, creamy texture and a subtly sweet flavor. Packed with essential nutrients, raw cashews are an excellent source of healthy fats, plant-based protein, and important minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iron. They also contain antioxidants that support heart health and promote skin vitality. Additionally, their high copper content aids in energy production and the maintenance of healthy connective tissues. While raw cashew nuts are relatively high in calories, they can be a wholesome addition to a balanced diet when consumed in moderation. It’s worth noting that some individuals may need to limit intake due to potential allergic reactions or sensitivities. A perfect snack or recipe ingredient, raw cashews boast both flavor and nutritional benefits.
