What it is
Whole raw cashews are the unprocessed seeds of the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale), native to Brazil. After harvesting, the cashew apple is removed, and the nut is dried and shelled. They are typically sold in their natural, creamy white color and curved shape.
Why it's used
Cashews are often eaten as a snack, either raw or roasted and salted. They are also used in baking, to make cashew butter, or as a base for dairy-free "cheeses" and creams due to their smooth texture when blended. Manufacturers may include them in snack mixes, trail mixes, and chocolate confections.
Health notes
Cashews are a source of healthy fats, protein, and minerals like magnesium and copper. The FDA recognizes cashews as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cashews. While generally considered healthy as part of a balanced diet, some individuals may have allergies.
Allergen info
Cashews are a tree nut, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
