About Nuts, cashew nuts, dry roasted, with salt added

The cashew is a rich, buttery, kidney-shaped nut that grows attached to the bottom of the cashew apple, a fleshy fruit on a tropical tree native to Brazil and now farmed widely in India, Vietnam, and West Africa. Mildly sweet and creamy, it is technically a seed and is always sold roasted or steamed, never raw in the shell, because the shell contains an irritating oil related to the one in poison ivy.

Cashews are a good source of heart-healthy unsaturated fats, plant protein, magnesium, copper, zinc, and iron. They are enjoyed as a snack on their own, tossed into stir-fries, curries, and rice dishes, and ground into the silky base of dairy-free cheeses, creams, and sauces, which makes them a cornerstone of plant-based cooking. Cashew butter is a smooth, mellow spread, and soaked cashews blend into creamy vegan desserts.

Because their natural oils can turn rancid, store cashews in an airtight container in a cool, dark cupboard or the refrigerator, and buy them in amounts you will use within a few months.
