We all love this crunchy nut, don't we? This delicately sweet yet crunchy and delicious cashew nut is packed with energy, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins that are essential for robust health. Here are a few health benefits of these super nuts : 

  • Cashews have a lower fat content when compared to most other nuts
  • They contain soluble dietary fibre 
  • Contains magnesium and copper that help to strengthen bones and are good for blood flow.
  • Cashews (100 gms) have almost 7 mg of iron while beetroot has only 0.8 mg.
  • Cashews keep our arteries flexible, prevent plaque build up.
  • Promotes bone health and traditionally used to prevent night cramps.
