Cashew Nuts are the kidney-shaped seeds of the cashew tree, widely used in South Asian, West African and Latin American cuisines as snacks, in sauces (like vegan creams) and in confectionery. They are prized for their creamy texture and mild, buttery flavor. They provide a concentrated source of plant protein with about 18.2g of protein per 100g, and supply heart-healthy unsaturated fats plus minerals such as magnesium and copper. Cashews are lower in fiber than some other nuts but contribute beneficial micronutrients to the diet. From a nutritional perspective, cashews offer a good quality plant protein and useful amounts of minerals, though they are energy-dense so portion control matters. They are not especially rich in polyphenol antioxidants compared with some other nuts or seeds, but are a versatile, nutrient-dense pantry staple when eaten in moderation.
