Organic Cashews

Organic cashews are the edible seeds of the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale), native to northeastern Brazil. After harvesting, the shells are removed, and the nuts are typically roasted or dried before being sold.

Cashews are often eaten as a snack or used in sweet and savory dishes. They can be ground into cashew butter or used as a dairy-free alternative in sauces, creams, and cheeses.

Cashews are a source of healthy fats, protein, and minerals. The FDA recognizes cashews as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cashews. Evidence suggests that regular consumption of nuts, including cashews, as part of a balanced diet may be associated with a reduced risk of heart disease.
