Cashew nuts are not only delicious, they are one of the healthiest nuts you can eat.
Cashews have a lower fat content than most other nuts. Over 80% of their fat is unsaturated fatty acids and nearly 70% of that unsaturated fatty acid content is heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, similar to olive oil.  And with no cholesterol, a rarity for such a tasty, crunchy treat, cashew nuts are a healthy fat food for heart patients.
High in magnesium, cashews help promote healthy bone and muscle development. Â Cashews and other nuts are also beneficial to diabetics and people at risk for diabetes.
Basically, cashews are good for you! Â Just remember avoid buying salted or flavoured nuts.
Instead just make you own. Its not only easy and cheaper than store bought varieties, it’s better for your body and the taste is far superior.
