About Raw cashews

Raw cashews are nutrient-rich nuts native to tropical regions, primarily grown in countries like Brazil, India, and Vietnam. Unlike roasted or salted cashews, raw cashews retain their natural flavor and texture, making them a versatile addition to various cuisines. They are rich in healthy fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which support heart health. Cashews also boast significant amounts of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals such as magnesium, copper, and zinc, contributing to bone health and immune function. Additionally, they contain antioxidants like vitamin E, which combat free radicals in the body. While raw cashews are a nutritious snack, they are calorie-dense and should be eaten in moderation to avoid excessive calorie or fat intake. Their mild flavor makes them popular in dishes like vegan cheeses, creamy sauces, and desserts. Always ensure raw cashews have been processed safely to remove naturally occurring toxins.
