Product Contains: Cashews

Cashews are kidney-shaped seeds that grow at the bottom of the cashew apple, a fruit native to northeastern Brazil. After harvesting, the cashew seed is separated from the cashew apple. The seed is then roasted or steamed to remove its caustic shell oil before being shelled and dried.

Cashews are commonly eaten as a snack, either raw, roasted, or salted. They are also used in a variety of dishes, including stir-fries, curries, and desserts. Cashew butter is a popular alternative to peanut butter.

Cashews are a source of protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. The FDA considers cashews to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cashews, but no specific intake limits are set. Research suggests that regular consumption of nuts, including cashews, may be associated with a reduced risk of heart disease.
