Cashew Nuts

Cashews nuts are the seed of a tree fruit, native to tropical regions such as Brazil and Nigeria that require warm climates to grow. While the kidney-shaped nut is well-known, it’s attached to a fleshy, often red or yellow, cashew apple. Cashews contain nutrients like magnesium, copper, and unsaturated fats, which offer potential health benefits for cardiovascular and blood sugar health. The seeds are processed through a rigorous roasting or steaming process to remove cashew nut shell liquid to make them edible.
