Cashew Nut ( J H )
Code : P10013

Cashew nuts, also known as kaju are kidney-shaped seeds that grow attached to the bottom of the cashew apple. They are native to Brazil but are now widely cultivated in tropical climates like India, Vietnam, and East Africa. Cashews have a mild, buttery flavor and creamy texture, making them popular in snacks, recipes, and dairy alternatives like cashew butter and milk. The outer shell of the nut contains a toxic substance, urushiol, which requires careful processing to remove before consumption. They are a good source of protein, healthy fats, fiber, and minerals such as magnesium, copper, and phosphorus.
