Cashews

Cashews are an extremely valuable oil seed in terms of their nutrients and physiological effects. They contain several B vitamins (B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , B 5 , B 6 , B 7 and B 9 ), antioxidant vitamin E and vitamin K, and are high in unsaturated fatty acids. Among the minerals, they are rich in calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, copper and iron. Regular consumption reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, regulates cholesterol levels, and due to their vitamin K and calcium content, they are essential for the health of our bones and the proper functioning of our nervous system. A few cashews eliminate the feeling of hunger, thus preventing further snacking. They can be used in cream soups, various stews, and rice curries. They can be made into butter and used in cakes. They can be roasted in a dry pan and added to salads or mixed into breakfast muesli.
