Cashews

Cashews are a delectable nut and are a favorite to many. They are a rich, sweet product of the cashew tree, and are actually the seed of a cashew apple. Cashews are one of the most popular types of nut and are not only a wonderful snack, but a great source of minerals and nutrients that are not found in many common foods.

Cashews are kidney shaped nuts that are softer than other nuts. Cashews are sweet in taste and have a relatively creamy texture. They are a delicious in sauces for pasta, potatoes and rice, can be made into a butter that tastes great when spread on toast or bagels. Cashews are perfectly pleasant when eaten by themselves, or try them mixed with dried fruits for a scrumptious snack mix.

Cashew nuts are beneficial to your health for many reasons. They contain mostly “good fat,” or monosaturated fat, which satisfies your appetite and avoids the urge to snack on other unhealthy snacks. Although they do contain a significant amount of monosaturated fat, cashews are still considered a low-fat nut, as they contain much less fat per serving than most other popular nuts such as pecans, walnuts, peanuts or almonds. Cashews are a healthy choice for heart patients, as they do not contain any cholesterol. They have high levels of magnesium, which is also good for the heart and protects against high blood pressure. Cashews have a high content of copper, so its consumption can help with developing bone tissue, utilizing iron and producing energy. Studies have even shown that adding cashews to your regular diet can help lower the risk of diabetes.

Cashews are highly perishable and spoil relatively quickly because of their high oil content, so they should be stored in a resalable airtight container or bag in a dry and cool place. They last much longer when refrigerated instead of being left out at room temperature, or they can be frozen for up to a year to preserve freshness.
