Summary

This product features nutrient-dense cashews and sea salt, both of which are beneficial for heart health and provide essential minerals. However, the use of peanut oil, while not as detrimental as seed oils, still contributes to a higher level of processing. The processing level of the product limits its score potential, despite the overall clean ingredient list.
