The raw cashew is one of the healthiest nut species. It is a seed originating from the Amazon, more specifically from Brazil, and was later taken to India by traders, where it is traditionally used to prepare curries and different dishes.

Its peanut-like flavor, and its crunchy and smooth texture at the same time, make it an ingredient that anyone would like to have in their food. The use of this nut is due to its mild but very characteristic flavor.

Raw cashews are helpful in lowering cholesterol, help to have healthier hair, skin and nails, and help to reduce inflammation of the digestive tract. Because they are high in protein, they also help tone your muscles if you exercise regularly.
