About Cashews

Known by the botanical name Anacardium Occidentale, the cashew is a close relative of mangos, pistachios, poison ivy and poison oak. It was first introduced on a worldwide scale by Portuguese explorers in South America in the 16 th century, but international trade didn't take off until the 1920s.

Sometimes called "nature's vitamin pill," cashew nuts, which now rank #1 among nut crops in the world. The cashew nut, a popular treat found on grocery and health food store shelves across the world, is jam-packed with nutritional content. It packs 5 grams of protein per ounce and high levels of the essential minerals iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper and manganese, which are utilized in holistic health solutions and healthy diets.

Cashew nuts do have a relatively high fat content (12 grams per ounce, 2 grams saturated fat), but it is considered "good fat." This is due to the agreeable fat ratio in the nut, 1:2:1 for saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated, respectively, which scientists say is the ideal ratio for optimal health.

Cashew nuts also have a fatty acid profile that contributes to good health through phytosterols, tocopherols, and sqaulene, all of which lower the risk of heart disease, combined with the nut's zero percent cholesterol content.

Our Cashews largely can be used as High Quality Snacks, a unique decorative and a nutritive ingredient in Ice-creams, Chocolates, Sweets and other dishes. It is widely used as plain as well as in flavoured forms such as roasted, salted, honey, chocolate and spice coated.
