Nutritional Scoop ~ Cashews are a great source of magnesium and phosphorus, .monounsaturated fats, zinc, iron, biotin and copper. They are also lower in fat than most nuts.
Food for Thought ~ Cashew nuts are actually seeds that adhere to the bottom of the cashew apple, the fruit of the cashew tree, which is native to the coastal areas of northeastern Brazil.
