Raw unsalted cashews are nutrient-rich tree nuts originally native to South America and Africa but widely cultivated in tropical regions globally. They are prized for their creamy texture and mild, buttery flavor, making them a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes, especially in Asian, Indian, and vegan cuisines. Packed with healthy fats, plant-based protein, and essential nutrients like magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and vitamin K, cashews support heart health, bone strength, and energy production. They are naturally cholesterol-free and contain antioxidants to combat oxidative stress. However, they are calorie-dense and should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Cashews also contain oxalates, which may not be suitable for individuals prone to kidney stones. Whether eaten raw, blended into dairy alternatives, or used in cooking, unsalted cashews are a delicious and nutritious addition to any meal plan.
