Roasted & Salted Cashews

Cashews are kidney-shaped seeds that grow at the bottom of the cashew apple. They are native to Brazil but are now grown in many tropical regions. The seeds are roasted and salted for snacking.

Cashews are often eaten as a snack on their own or as part of a trail mix. They are also used in various dishes, including stir-fries, curries, and desserts, adding a rich, buttery flavor and creamy texture.

Cashews are a source of healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals. The FDA recognizes cashews as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). While generally considered healthy in moderation, they are calorie-dense. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cashews, but no specific health claims are made by regulatory bodies regarding typical consumption.
