Cashew cream can be enjoyed in a number of ways. No matter how you choose to serve yours, it’s an excellent, nutritious snack with all the benefits of organic food. This recipe has the additional benefit of being made from cashews — a nutritious little nut. Let’s take a closer look at what makes cashews so good for your body.
Cashews are delicious and offer impressive nutritional benefits. Below are just some of the essential vitamins and minerals found in cashews.[1]
Cashews also contain arginine, an a-amino acid necessary for the biosynthesis of protein.[2] They have carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin, which help protect the skin and eyes from light damage.[3] Athletes love cashews because they support natural energy production, have the highest carbohydrate content of all nuts[4], and are a great source of antioxidants.[5]
Cashew cream is not just delicious, it’s also good for you. You may have heard that cashews are high in fat. That's true, but to leave it at that is a bit misleading. There are good fats (monounsaturated) and bad fats (saturated). Cashews are a source of monounsaturated fats.[6] Monounsaturated fats seem to help reduce the rate of coronary heart disease[7] and are a great heart-healthy addition to your diet.
Cashews encourage normal blood pressure[8] and promote healthy cholesterol levels.[9] Cashews are more than a tasty treat.
