Cashews
Cashews are the kidney-shaped seeds of the cashew tree, widely used in South Asian, African and Latin American cuisines and popular as a snack, in nut butters, sauces and vegan desserts. They are known for their creamy texture and mild, sweet flavor. Nutritionally, Cashews provide a plant source of protein with 15.3g of protein per 100g and are also rich in healthy unsaturated fats; they supply notable amounts of minerals such as copper and magnesium. Cashews deliver a high-quality plant protein and several useful micronutrients, but they are energy-dense, so portion control matters when using them as a snack or in recipes.
