Health Benefits Of Cashew Nuts
- Cashews are the best nuts for creating a creamy consistancy as they are soft and not too oily, in fact, they contain lower amount of fat than most other nuts.
- Because raw cashews are hard to digest and because their out shell is toxic it’s best to soak them and rinse really well before eating.
- Cashews are rich in iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus.
- They also have a fairly high amount of protein (5 g of protein in 1 ounce of nuts) with an excellent amino acid composition, all essential amino acids are there. Cashews and pistachio are the only nuts with a complete amino acid profile.
