Cashew nuts are a popular and nutritious snack, known for their creamy texture and rich flavor. Grown primarily in tropical climates, the cashew tree produces the nut and a secondary fruit called the apple. Cashew nuts are a rich source of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, particularly magnesium and copper. Beyond being consumed directly, they are used in various food products, such as cashew butter and milk, and have industrial applications in cosmetics and lubricants due to the oil content in their shells.
