Summary

Roasted cashews are a nutritious snack, rich in healthy fats and protein. However, the use of rapeseed oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, detracts from the overall healthiness due to its potential to promote inflammation and its high level of processing. The product's processing level also limits its score, despite the presence of beneficial cashews.

Rapeseed oil
Very Bad

Rapeseed oil, also known as canola oil, is a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can promote inflammation when consumed in excess. It is often highly processed and refined, which can reduce its nutritional quality. The high omega-6 content and processing methods make it a less desirable choice compared to other oils like olive or avocado oil.

Risks

High omega-6 content may promote inflammation and is often highly processed, which can reduce nutritional quality.
