Although they offer almost identical health benefits and vitamins to the human body, each of these nuts is somehow specific. Therefore, we looked at some of the nuts, compared their positive and negative effects, and we would like to inform you about them in the following article.

Few know that cashews are actually the fruit of a tree. They grow at the end of the cashew apples, which is the fruit of Anacardium occidentale. The apple is rich in vitamin C and has a sour taste. It is common to eat them only in some parts of the world – Africa or Brazil, for example. The shell of cashews includes irritating resins and acid and therefore, cashew nuts are already pre-peeled on sale. Aggressive substances from shells are used, for example, at wood varnish production. [4]

You can even use it as part of your protein drinks or as an ingredient for various sweet and savoury recipes. It’s only up to you what way you use the cashew butter in your kitchen.
