About Whole cashew

Whole cashews are nutrient-rich nuts originating from the tropical climates of Brazil, India, and Vietnam, where they are harvested from the fruit of the cashew tree. Naturally buttery and mildly sweet, they are a beloved ingredient in various cuisines, especially Indian, Asian, and African dishes. Packed with heart-healthy fats, cashews are an excellent source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which support cardiovascular health. They also provide plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and zinc. Cashews are rich in antioxidants, including vitamin E, which helps combat oxidative stress. Despite their health benefits, cashews contain a dense calorie content, so moderation is key in preventing overconsumption. Typically eaten raw, roasted, or blended into dairy-free creams and butters, whole cashews are a versatile and nutritious addition to both sweet and savory recipes.
