Organic Cashews Nuts
Cashews have a delicate nutty taste that works well in a variety of dishes including stir-fries, pastas, granolas, fruit salads, curries, and chicken dishes. They also make a healthy and delicious snack on their own, paired with tasty spices, or drenched in chocolate. Native to northeastern Brazil, cashew trees thrive in tropical climates and bear juicy, edible cashew apples, along with cashew nuts. Due to its delicate skin, the cashew fruit isn’t suited for transportation, and remains relatively unknown to America and Europe.

Health Benefits of Organic Cashew Nuts
Like most nuts, organic cashews are rich in protein, dietary fiber, and antioxidants. They contain less fat than most other nut varieties, and nearly 75% of it is heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. In particular, raw cashews are an excellent source of oleic acid, the same “good” fat found in olive oil. Research shows that increasing your intake of oleic acid can protect your heart.
Organic cashews are a great nutritional addition to your diet because they are also rich in essential minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium. Studies indicate that eating nuts like these ones may help reduce the risk for chronic conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. This is because nuts are packed with protective nutrients like unsaturated fats, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals!
