I absolutely love cashews. Their creamy and soft texture makes for a fun and yummy snack. Cashews are loaded with healthy benefits and are a nutrition powerhouse. Cashews are rich in antioxidants, protein, vitamins (B, C, E, and K), and essential minerals (calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, and sodium). These nutrients found in cashews help to reduce the risk of diabetes, boosts bone and oral health, prevents and reduces risk of anemia, can help prevent gallstones, and boosts immune system health.
