CASHEW- OTHER
Cashews are kidney-shaped nuts from the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale), native to Brazil but now widely cultivated in tropical regions. They are technically seeds, not true nuts, and are known for their creamy texture and rich, nutty flavor.
Allergies: Cashews are a common allergen.
Oxalate content: May contribute to kidney stones in sensitive individuals.
Roasted/salted cashews can be high in sodium or contain unhealthy oils—opt for raw or dry-roasted when possible.
