CashewsHigh

Cashews are the seeds of the cashew apple tree native to South America but widely cultivated in India and other tropical countries. They are typically harvested, sun-dried, and roasted to enhance flavor and digestibility. Cashews are commonly eaten as a snack, in trail mixes, or incorporated into various Indian sweets and savory dishes for their rich texture and nutty flavor.

• Cashews provide a significant amount of protein, making them a valuable plant-based protein source.
• They contain moderate amounts of carbohydrates and fats, predominantly unsaturated fats.
• Cashews also supply essential minerals such as iron, potassium, and zinc, supporting diverse nutritional needs.

Because cashews are vegan, they suit various dietary preferences. They contain no vitamin A, vitamin B12, vitamin C, or vitamin D. While cashews offer notable protein content, individuals with nut allergies should avoid them.
