About Cashew

Cashews are creamy, crescent-shaped nuts native to Brazil, though they're now widely grown in tropical regions worldwide, including India and Vietnam. Rich in nutrients, cashews are an excellent source of healthy monounsaturated fats, plant-based protein, magnesium, copper, and antioxidants that support heart health, bone strength, and immune function. Their mild, buttery flavor makes them a versatile ingredient in cuisines globally, featuring prominently in Indian curries, vegan cheese substitutes, and snacks. While cashews are nutrient-packed, they are calorie-dense, so portion control is key. They’re also low in fiber compared to other nuts and often roasted or salted, which may add extra sodium. Cashews contain no cholesterol, making them a heart-friendly choice when enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Whether blended into creamy sauces or enjoyed raw, cashews offer a delicious and nutritious way to support overall wellness.
