Beyond trail mix: Experience the nutritional benefits of Organic Raw Cashews

• Cashews are a rich source of essential vitamins and minerals. A single serving provides a balanced mix of macronutrients that support overall health and well-being.
• Cashews contain powerful antioxidants such as polyphenols and carotenoids, which help neutralize free radicals in the body. This makes them an excellent choice for protecting healthy cells from damage.
• Cashews can be enjoyed in various forms, making them a versatile addition to any diet. They can be eaten raw, roasted, blended into cashew milk or used as a base for vegan cheese, sauces, smoothies and energy balls.
• The healthy monounsaturated fats in cashews can also support good overall health.
• Originally from Brazil, cashews are now cultivated worldwide, making them a staple in many diets. Their rich, buttery flavor and impressive health benefits have earned them a place as a beloved superfood, celebrated for their ability to enhance both taste and nutrition in a variety of dishes.

In the world of superfoods, few can match the versatility and nutritional prowess of the humble cashew. Often mistaken for a nut, cashew is actually a kidney-shaped seed that grows outside the fleshy drupes of the cashew tree. (h/t to Healthline.com)

Native to the tropical regions of Brazil, the cashew tree has since spread its roots across the globe, thriving in warm climates from India to Africa and beyond.

This global cultivation has made cashews a staple in many diets, celebrated not only for their rich, buttery flavor but also for their impressive health benefits.

Cashews: A crunchy nutritional powerhouse

Cashews are a nutritional treasure trove, packed with essential nutrients that can support overall health.

A one-ounce (28-gram, g) serving of unroasted, unsalted cashews provides a balanced mix of macronutrients and micronutrients:

• Calories – 157
• Protein – 5.16 g
• Fat – 12.4 g (primarily healthy unsaturated fats)
• Carbohydrates – 8.56 g
• Fiber – 0.9 g
• Vitamins and minerals – Cashews are particularly rich in copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, thiamin, zinc, vitamin B6 and vitamin K.

The unsaturated fats in cashews are noteworthy, as these fats can help maintain good health.

Additionally, the high copper content of cashews are important for supporting the body’s natural energy production. (Related: Pantry powerhouse: Why Organic Date Sugar belongs in every kitchen.)

Cashews are an antioxidant-rich superfood

Beyond their macronutrient profile, cashews are a great source of powerful antioxidants, which are beneficial plant compounds that help neutralize harmful free radicals.

Free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause cellular damage. Antioxidant-rich foods like cashews can help protect healthy cells from free radical damage.

Cashews are rich in polyphenols and carotenoids, two classes of antioxidants also found in other tree nuts.

Easy to incorporate into your diet

One of the greatest advantages of cashews is their versatility.

They can be enjoyed in many ways, making cashews easy to incorporate into a balanced diet.

Snacking

Baking and cooking

Alternatively, use raw cashews to make creamy pasta sauces, dips like cashew sour cream, or a vegan queso.

Smoothies and energy balls

Add a handful of cashews to your smoothies for extra creaminess and a nutrient boost.
