About Cashew
A common nut snack, fairly high in calories.
Health Benefits of Cashew
A soft, buttery nut
Cashews are 553 kcal with 18.2g protein per 100g, and their carbohydrate (~30.2g) is higher than average for nuts, giving a lightly sweet, smooth texture. Their fat is mostly unsaturated - among the most popular snacking nuts.
High in copper and magnesium
Cashews are rich in copper and magnesium. Copper supports iron metabolism and connective tissue; magnesium aids muscle relaxation and nerve function. Moderate intake supports bone health and cardiovascular function.
Portion control is key
Their smooth, sweet mouthfeel makes cashews easy to overeat. 15-20 nuts (about 20-25g) come to ~100-140 kcal - just right as a snack. Buy small packs or portion out from a big bag and reseal to avoid a binge.
