Understanding Cashew Nuts and Their Nutritional Value
Cashew nuts are the seeds harvested from the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale), a tropical evergreen species native to Brazil. These nuts grow inside a shell located beneath the cashew apple, which is the fruit of the tree. Once harvested, the nuts are extracted from their shells, dried, and processed for consumption. Cashews offer numerous nutritional benefits due to their rich nutrient profile, making them a valuable addition to many diets and food products.
