The cashew tree is a tropical evergreen tree that produces the cashew seed and the cashew apple. India is one of the major producers of cashew.

The cashew seed, often simply called a cashew, is widely consumed. It is eaten on its own, used in recipes, or processed into cashew cheese or cashew butter.

Cashews are a good source of healthy dietary fats, which are essential for our body to absorb the fat-soluble vitamins (vitamin A, D, E, and K). Cashews are a good source of magnesium, which is vital for the healthy development of bones, muscles, tissues, and the body’s organs.
