: Not only do cashews have a lower fat content then most nuts, approximately 65% of their fat is unsaturated. These nuts are a great source of copper (for antioxidant defenses, energy production, bones and blood vessels), magnesium (for healthy bones), protein and fiber. About 75% of the unsaturated fatty acid content is oleic acid, the same heart-healthy monounsaturated fat found in olive oil. Studies show that oleic acid promotes good cardiovascular health, even in individuals with diabetes. Rich in high quality dietary fiber, cashews support overall bowel health and can play a role in the prevention of colon cancer.
