WHY SHOULD I EAT CASHEWS?

Cashews are very nutritious and are a powerhouse of proteins and essential minerals. If consumed in appropriate quantities, they can help maintain a robust and steady state of health! Various studies have revealed that consumption of cashew nuts can accelerate weight loss, lower the risk of higher cholesterol and even make your heart healthier.

The fat content in cashew nuts is considered to be “good fats.” About 88% of these fats are polyunsaturated fats and 66% of these are heart healthy monounsaturated fats. This is due to the agreeable ratio in the nut for saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats, which researchers say is the ideal ratio for optimal health.
