Cashew pieces are small, irregular pieces of cashew nuts, which are the seeds of the cashew apple tree (Anacardium occidentale). The nuts are typically roasted or dried and then broken into smaller pieces for use in food products.

Health notes

Cashews are a source of healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals. They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food.

While generally considered healthy, excessive intake of any food can contribute to weight gain due to calorie density.
