Cashhhheeeeww! If you say it slowly, it almost sounds like a sneeze. I regret to admit that people often stay away from nuts. This is not because they sound like sneezes or have funny names, but because they are high in fat. BUT, I know that all of you know fat is not to be feared. Am I right?! The unsaturated fats are the fats to shake hands with, while the saturated and trans-fats are the ones to slap in the face.
Want a random fact regarding cashews? Of course you do. Cashews are the kidney-shaped seeds that you find on the bottom of a cashew apple, the fruit from the cashew tree, which are often found in Brazil. The nut tastes good, is full of heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids, blood pressure lowering magnesium, and antioxidant-rich copper. Cashews are great as a snack so pair a handful with an apple to curb the afternoon munchies!
Eat well,
Bri
