Cashew kernels are the edible seeds of the cashew tree, which is native to Brazil but widely cultivated in tropical regions around the world. These kidney-shaped nuts are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients and health benefits.

  3. Bone Health: Cashews are rich in magnesium and phosphorus, both of which are essential for strong and healthy bones. Copper in cashews also helps in the maintenance of collagen and elastin, providing structure and flexibility to bones and joints.

  6. Blood Sugar Control: The presence of healthy fats, fiber, and protein in cashew kernels can help regulate blood sugar levels, making them a good snack option for people with diabetes or those looking to prevent blood sugar spikes.
  7. Eye Health: Cashew kernels contain antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which are beneficial for eye health. These compounds help protect the eyes from damage caused by blue light and reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration.
