Cashew kernels are obtained from raw seed by roasting, shelling and peeling.
Cashews have a lower fat content than most other nuts, approximately 75% of their fat is unsaturated fatty acids, plus about 75% of the unsaturated fatty acid content is oleic acid, the same heart-healthy monounsaturated fat found in olive oil. Studies show that oleic acid promotes good cardiovascular health, even in individuals with diabetes. Just a quarter cup of these delicious nuts supplies 37.4% of the daily value for monounsaturated fat.
In addition to their healthful monounsaturated fats, cashews are a good source of copper, magnesium, zinc and biotin.
