Cashew Nut

Cashew nuts are creamy, kidney-shaped nuts derived from the seeds of the cashew apple (Anacardium occidentale), native to tropical regions such as India, Brazil, and Vietnam. Renowned for their rich, buttery flavor and satisfying crunch, cashews are packed with essential nutrients including healthy fats, protein, vitamins (E, K, and B6), and minerals like copper, zinc, magnesium, and iron.

Whether enjoyed raw, roasted, salted, or incorporated into culinary dishes and desserts, cashews are a versatile and premium-quality snack. They are also widely used in vegan cooking for making dairy alternatives such as cashew cheese and cream.
