CASHEWS
It's safe to say that people have been in love with cashew nuts for thousands of years. In fact, researchers know that humans began noticing that monkeys ate these delectable-looking nuts after breaking open the unappetizingly hard shells. While indigenous cultures began using cashews in Brazil thousands of years ago, Europeans didn't discover them until the Portuguese and Spanish conquistadors came into the area in the 16th century. Cashews were instantly found to be appealing and a great way to add protein to the always-meager diet of the times. Today, you can enjoy the deliciousness of cashew nuts in a variety of ways.
Why Should I Eat Cashew Nuts?
Over the years, cashews have become one of the best nuts to snack on, and it's easy to see why because they are good for you. Cashew nuts are high in oleic acid. This fatty acid --the same fats that are found in olive oil--promotes good cardiovascular health. Cashews help prevent cancer and promote healthy and strong bones.
Cashews are also full of fiber, and they are a good source of copper, magnesium, and zinc. Cashews have a lot of calcium, which is why they are sometimes used as dairy substitutes.
At Fastachi, we hand-selected the best cashews and hand-roast them in small batches. We know how important it is to select the perfect nuts for your diet. All of our cashew snacks will be shipped to your door fresh and perfectly roasted.
