Description
The cashew tree produces a pear-shaped fruit, called a cashew apple, which has a sweet and juicy flavour. The cashew nut is located on the bottom of the cashew apple and is covered by a hard, outer shell.
Cahews are known for their distinctively kidney-shaped appearance, creamy texture, and rich, buttery flavour. Cashews are a good source of healthy fats, protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, magnesium, and copper.
Eating cashews has been linked to several health benefits. For example, cashews may help reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels and improving blood pressure. They may also help improve bone health and reduce inflammation.
Cashews can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, such as raw or roasted, as a snack, or as an ingredient in baked goods, salads, and granola.
Cashews are also a popular ingredient in Indian and vegan cooking, as they can be blended into creamy sauces or used as a topping for vegan pizzas and other dishes.
