Roasted Unsalted 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 tropical regions worldwide. The nuts are roasted and shelled to remove their outer shell, which contains a caustic oil.

Roasted unsalted cashews are often used as a snack on their own or as an ingredient in trail mixes, baked goods, and savory dishes. Their rich, buttery flavor and crunchy texture add depth and appeal to a variety of foods.

Cashews are a source of protein, healthy fats, and minerals. They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for consumption. While generally considered healthy, some individuals may have allergies. No specific regulatory limits or evaluations from bodies like JECFA or EFSA are typically noted for whole nuts in this context.
