Cashew is one of the most popular and sought after dry fruits in the world. Market research shows that the global cashew market is worth more than $8 billion in 2022, but is expected to grow further and exceed $11 billion by the end of the decade.
Cashews are often added to candy and chocolate, however, some people want to be careful not to eat too many cashews.
Cashews provide many health benefits and are rich in important nutrients. They’re high in protein—more than 20 grams per cup—and more than 4 grams of dietary fiber.
According to Christine Smith, spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, all of these ingredients work together to keep you feeling fuller for longer and can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.
According to the US Department of Agriculture, it also contains calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, vitamin C, vitamin K, manganese, niacin and folate.
These nutrients can boost immune health, provide energy and help reduce inflammation and prevent blood clotting.
