Nutritional Information

Tree nuts or Noble nuts have been used as premium foods by the Aristocracy for Centuries.
In the 1970s and 80s, however, they were seen as "Fatty" and something to be avoided. However, research findings since the late 1990s have affirmed that nuts which pack nutrients and vitamins are not only healthy, but also have a "Good" unsaturated fat profile.

Regular consumption of nuts significantly reduces the risk of Coronary Heart Disease. Tasty nuts are finding their way back on to tables all over the world as a healthy alternative to junk-foods, and even as a part of weight-loss diets.

Cashews particularly are a natural source of folate, phytosterols, magnesium, potassium, selenium, iron, copper, zinc, manganese & pantothenic acid (Vitamin B-5), amino acids such as lysine, tryptophan, threonine, leneine, isolencine and valine.

Cashews, like all treenuts, contain many complex proteins which cause allergies in some people - though very few cases specific to cashews have been documented. Quite often people who are allergic to one type of nut are also allergic to others.

So, if you are allergic to any other nuts, please be careful about consuming cashews.
