Cashew nuts
Short facts : A popular ingredient in vegan and vegetarian cooking
Cashew nuts are kidney-shaped nuts that are harvested from the cashew tree, which is native to Brazil. They have a rich and buttery flavour with a distinct sweetness. Cashew nuts are often eaten on their own as a snack, or used in both sweet and savoury dishes such as stir-fries, curries, salads, and baked goods. They are also commonly used to make dairy-free milk, butter, and cheese alternatives. Cashew nuts are high in healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals and are a popular ingredient in vegan and vegetarian cooking due to their versatility and nutritional benefits.
