What it is

Cashew nuts are kidney-shaped seeds that grow at the bottom of the cashew apple, a fruit native to northeastern Brazil. After harvesting, cashews are typically steamed or roasted to remove their caustic shell before being shelled and dried. They are often sold raw or roasted, salted or unsalted.

Why it's used

Cashews are commonly used as a snack, in baked goods, and as a base for dairy-free "cheeses" and sauces due to their creamy texture when blended. They add a rich, nutty flavor and can act as a source of fat and protein in food products.

Health notes

Cashew nuts are a source of healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes cashews as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated cashews. While generally considered healthy as part of a balanced diet, excessive intake could contribute to high calorie consumption.

Allergen info

Cashew nuts are one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. They are tree nuts, and individuals with tree nut allergies should avoid them.
