What it is

Cashews are kidney-shaped seeds that grow at the bottom of the cashew apple, a fruit from a tropical evergreen tree native to northeastern Brazil. The cashew nut is typically roasted or steamed after harvesting to remove its caustic shell oil. Roasting brings out the nut's flavor and makes it easier to shell.

Why it's used

Roasted cashews are often eaten as a snack or used as an ingredient in various dishes, including trail mixes, granola, and baked goods. Their creamy texture and mild, sweet flavor make them a versatile addition to both sweet and savory recipes.

Health notes

Cashews are a source of healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals. The FDA recognizes cashews as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for consumption. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated cashews and found them to be safe. While generally healthy, excessive consumption of any nut can contribute to high calorie intake.

Allergen info

Cashews are a tree nut, which is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. People with tree nut allergies should avoid cashews.
