Two cashew nuts may seem small, but they are packed with flavor and nutrients. Native to Brazil and now widely grown in tropical regions, cashews are often used in African, Indian, and Southeast Asian cuisines. Each pair of cashews contains healthy fats, a modest amount of protein, and essential minerals like magnesium and phosphorus. These nuts are a good source of antioxidants, helping to combat inflammation and promote heart health. However, they are calorie-dense, and their high fat content—though primarily unsaturated—means portion control is key for those monitoring weight or fat intake. Cashews are often enjoyed raw, roasted, or blended into vegan sauces, showcasing their versatility and creamy texture. Whether eaten alone or added to recipes, these nuts provide a tasty and nutrient-rich snack in moderation.
