Cashews contain fiber, which helps with good bowel function, causes a higher feeling of satiety and contributes to improving the lipid profile. In addition, they have a high content of B vitamins, especially thiamine and vitamin B6, which participate in numerous metabolic processes, as well as vitamin E, which has a strong antioxidant effect. A small handful of cashews is enough to ingest a significant amount of essential minerals and trace elements, such as phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, iron and zinc, while the antioxidant components they contain protect the body from the negative effects of oxidative stress. Finally, although they are particularly rich in fat, 66% of these are monounsaturated fatty acids, the so-called "good" fats, which are beneficial for the heart, as they contribute to reducing triglycerides.
