Shiloh Farms Whole Cashews, Organic - 11 oz (312 Grams)

An excellent source of protein and fiber‚ Organic Raw Cashews also contain significant amounts of a number of minerals‚ including copper‚ phosphorus‚ magnesium‚ and iron. While rich in heart-healthy mono-unsaturated fatty acids‚ cashews are actually among the lowest-fat nuts available. Delicately flavored with a meaty texture‚ cashews are a delicious snack and welcome addition to a variety of sweet and savory dishes. Cashews are commonly found in Indian‚ Asian‚ and South American cuisines.

What we know as cashew "nuts" are actually the seeds of the cashew tree‚ a tropical evergreen native to Brazil. Unlike tree nuts‚ which are oily‚ cashews have a higher concentration of starches‚ making them an ideal nut to use as a thickener for stews and sauces. While some are allergic to cashews‚ they are typically less allergenic than tree nuts and peanuts.
