cashews

The cashews we seek out are considered “valuable” foods because of the high concentration of “good lipids,” along with the protein present in quantity. Nutritionally, they fall into the category of nuts, such as walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds, and, like the latter, are rich in health-promoting properties.

Fiber abounds, while cholesterol is completely absent. Regarding mineral salts, we have excellent concentrations of: iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and selenium.

Like other seeds and nuts, cashews are also rich in antioxidants, including polyphenols and carotenoids, which reduce free radical formation and activity, protecting against cellular aging and inflammation.

Due to the good presence of fiber and good fats, cashews help prevent glycemic spikes and reduce blood sugar. They are therefore useful for both healthy subjects and those with diabetes 2.

Due to their good magnesium content, cashews improve nerve and muscle tone, thus fighting high blood pressure, muscle spasms and migraines.

The recommended daily amount is 15-20 pieces, which corresponds to 30 g.
