CASHEWS

Cashews are a type of nut that are widely used in cooking and snacking. They are kidney-shaped and have a creamy, rich flavor.

Cashews are a good source of healthy fats, protein, and other nutrients, including magnesium and vitamin K. They are also relatively low in carbohydrates and have a lower fat content compared to other nuts.

Cashews can be eaten raw or roasted, and can be used in a variety of dishes, such as curries, stir-fries, and salads. They can also be ground into a paste to make sauces, spreads, and vegan cheeses.

When cooking with cashews, it is important to soak them in water for several hours or overnight to soften them and improve their texture. They can then be blended or ground into a paste or added directly to recipes.

Cashews can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for several months. Once opened, they should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain their freshness.
