ROASTED & SALTED CASHEWS
Country of Origin: Vietnam
Ingredients: Roasted cashew kernels, vegetable oil, salt
HEALTH BENEFITS:
Cashews, in moderation, are said to be good for the heart, as they are rich in unsaturated fats (the good fat) made up of monounsaturated fatty acids (62%) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (the even better fats) (18%). They are also high in:
- plant-based protein
- dietary fiber
- copper, magnesium & zinc
- antioxidants
USE IT!
Cashews are a handy little nut that can be used in salads, yoghurts, smoothies, cooking, baking, and can be made into a tasty little spread. They're also a perfect snack by themselves or added to your favourite nut mix.
FUN FACT:
Did you know that a cashew isn't actually a nut after all? Cashews grow out of apples, so are technically a seed.
