About Roasted cashew

Roasted cashews are a nutrient-rich snack and versatile ingredient popular across various cuisines, particularly in Southeast Asian and Indian dishes. These crescent-shaped nuts are roasted to enhance their natural sweetness and buttery flavor, creating a crunchy, satisfying treat. Packed with healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iron, they support heart health, bone strength, and energy production. Cashews also contain antioxidants, such as Vitamin E, which help combat free radicals. However, they are calorie-dense and often salted or roasted in oil, which can increase sodium and fat content, making portion control important for maintaining a balanced diet. Native to tropical regions, especially Brazil and India, cashews are cultivated for their creamy texture and rich taste, whether enjoyed as a standalone snack or incorporated into recipes. Roasted cashews are a delightful addition to a healthy diet when consumed mindfully.
