Cashews are not actually nuts. Despite their name, cashews are not true nuts. They are seeds that grow on the cashew apple, a tropical fruit.
Native to northeastern Brazil, the tree made its way to India by Portuguese sailors between 1560 and 1565.
The Portuguese name for the nut is “caju” which is where the informal name comes from.
Nutrient-rich: Cashews are packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins (like B vitamins), minerals (such as magnesium and zinc), and antioxidants that contribute to overall health.
Heart-healthy fats: Cashews are a good source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which can help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
