Cashews are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals, including copper, magnesium, and phosphorus. These nutrients support various bodily functions, including cardiovascular health, immune function, and metabolism. Additionally, cashews contain antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and inflammation, reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

Cashews can be enjoyed in numerous ways, whether eaten raw as a wholesome snack, roasted and seasoned for added flavour, or incorporated into both sweet and savoury dishes. In cuisines worldwide, cashews are used to create a variety of culinary delights, including curries, stir-fries, salads, and pasta sauces, providing creaminess and depth of flavour.
