Nut Basket Cashews 200g

Cashews are kidney-shaped seeds that come from the cashew tree and are typically pale ivory in color with a smooth surface. Unlike other nuts, they are harvested from the bottom of the cashew apple and are encased in a hard, double-layered shell that contains a toxic oil, which must be removed before they are safe to eat.

Cashews have a rich, buttery, and slightly sweet flavor with a creamy texture, making them popular in a variety of dishes. They can be eaten raw, roasted, or used in making cashew butter, milk, and cheese alternatives. Cashews are also commonly found in both savory and sweet recipes, including curries, stir-fries, and desserts.

Nutritionally, cashews are high in healthy fats (primarily unsaturated fats), protein, and essential minerals such as copper, magnesium, and manganese. They provide benefits for heart health, support bone and joint health, and can help regulate blood sugar levels. Their creamy texture makes them a favorite ingredient in vegan and dairy-free recipes.
