Summary

Whole salted cashews are a processed food due to the addition of peanut oil and salt. While cashews themselves are nutrient-dense and provide healthy fats, the use of peanut oil, which is high in omega-6 fatty acids, can be a concern due to its potential to promote inflammation. The product's processing level and the presence of refined oil slightly reduce its overall health score.
