About Salted cashews

Salted cashews are a popular snack made from roasted cashew nuts lightly coated with salt. Originating from tropical climates, particularly India, Vietnam, and Brazil, cashews are the seeds of the cashew fruit. They offer a creamy texture and rich, buttery flavor that make them a versatile addition to savory and sweet dishes alike. Nutritionally, cashews are packed with healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, plant-based protein, and essential nutrients such as magnesium, copper, and vitamins E and K, which support bone health, energy production, and antioxidant defense. However, salted cashews are higher in sodium, which some individuals may need to moderate for heart health. They are also calorie-dense, so portion control is key to enjoying their benefits without excess. Perfect as an on-the-go snack or ingredient, salted cashews are a delicious way to add flavor and nutrition to your diet in moderation.
