Raw Cashew Nuts

The cashew tree is a tropical evergreen tree that produces the cashew seed and the cashew apple. The tree can grow as high as 14 m, but the dwarf cashew, growing up to 6 m, has proven more profitable, with earlier maturity and greater yields.

DESCRIPTION

Cashew trees are mainly found in North-eastern Brazil, but these sweet and creamy nuts are now widely produced in India, Vietnam and Africa. Like all nuts, cashew nuts are packed with nutrients which support our health in a number of ways. They are also delicious in any form, be they raw unsalted cashew nuts, soaked overnight, roasted and salted (not the healthiest option, but very tasty!), crumbled into cashew pieces or blended into creamy butters and vegan milk. Whatever your preferences, raw, natural and organic cashew nuts boast countless culinary uses particularly in Indian cuisine . So be sure to buy cashew nuts for a go-to snack at anytime of day and start adding to homemade curries.

Cashew Nuts Unhealthy? Fat chance!

Although cashews are relatively high in calories (around 550 per 100g), two key points are worth remembering. Firstly, the natural fats found in nuts are now known to be extremely healthy, unlike various other vegetable fats and hydrogenated horrors! Secondly, many people will testify that nut eaters tend to have more fat in their stools. This not only suggests that not all of the calories are absorbed, but that nuts could perhaps help to increase the general elimination of fats from our body.

And of course: these nuts are not only well-known for their rich, sweet flavour – they contain a wealth of minerals, vitamins, nutrients and nourishing qualities. For years many dietitians across the UK, Europe and beyond have championed the benefits of enjoying cashews as part of a healthy diet.

If you like things with a little more flavour why not try our roasted and salted cashew nuts – the perfect tasty snack at any time of day.
