Cashews are a kidney-shaped seed sourced from the cashew tree - a tropical tree native to Brazil but now cultivated in various warm climates across the world.

Although commonly referred to as tree nuts, and nutritionally comparable to them, cashews are really seeds.

And the benefit of cashews?

Cashews are low in sugar and rich in fiber, heart-healthy fats, and plant protein. They’re also a good source of copper, magnesium, and manganese — nutrients important for energy production, brain health, immunity, and bone health.
