Cashew Nuts nutrition facts

Cashew Nuts are a nut or seed food whose intact, roasted, ground, or butter form changes texture and nutrient accessibility. They provide protein, dietary fiber, monounsaturated fat, and polyunsaturated fat. Choose kernels without mold, insect damage, or a paint-like rancid odor and store them airtight away from heat and light; refrigeration extends quality.

More about allergens

This food contains a tree nut, one of the nine major food allergen groups recognized in the United States. Allergy to one tree nut does not automatically define tolerance to another; follow individual medical advice and verify packaged-food labels.

This general information does not replace the ingredient and allergen label on a packaged product or individual medical advice.

Interesting fact

Grinding changes how quickly nut and seed fat becomes accessible

In intact kernels, part of the oil remains enclosed by plant cell walls. Chopping, milling, and turning a nut or seed into butter disrupt more cells, so fat is generally released more readily during digestion.
