CASHEWS

Cashews are a nutrient-dense nut rich in healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals. They provide a good source of magnesium, copper, and manganese, which are important for bone health and energy production. Cashews are minimally processed and offer a natural source of nutrients.

Vegetable oil, which may include canola, safflower, or sunflower oil, is high in omega-6 fatty acids that can promote inflammation when consumed in excess. These oils are often extracted using high heat and chemical solvents, which can degrade their nutritional quality. The presence of these oils in the product is a significant negative factor due to their processing and health impact.

Salt is used as a seasoning and preservative in many food products. It is a refined form of sodium chloride without additional trace minerals. While necessary for bodily functions, excessive consumption can lead to health issues such as hypertension.

Rosemary extract is used as a natural antioxidant to preserve the freshness of oils and fats. It is derived from rosemary leaves and is considered a natural additive. While it helps in extending shelf life, it does not contribute significant nutritional benefits.
