About Two sppons of cashew
Two spoons of cashews offer a creamy, mildly sweet snack or ingredient, popular in global cuisines, especially South Asian, African, and Middle Eastern dishes. Cashews are nutrient-rich, containing healthy fats, plant-based protein, and essential minerals like magnesium, copper, and zinc, which support energy production, bone health, and immunity. They're also a good source of antioxidants that protect against cellular damage. While cashews are high in unsaturated fats beneficial for heart health, they are calorie-dense, so portion control is essential. Their mild flavor makes them a versatile addition to savory dishes, desserts, or as a dairy alternative in creamy sauces. Consumed in moderation, cashews can be part of a balanced diet, but excessive intake may lead to heightened calorie consumption. Always opt for unsalted or minimally processed varieties to maximize their health benefits.
