GOOD TO KNOW

The whole story
behind cashew nuts, dry roasted, salted

Nutrition is rarely simply “good” or “bad”. Here is the balanced picture to help you decide what fits your diet.

THE UPSIDE

Why it can be a great choice

Provides 15.3 g protein per 100 g.
Provides substantial magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper and potassium.
Most of the 46.4 g total fat is unsaturated, including 27.3 g monounsaturated and 7.84 g polyunsaturated fat.
Provides folate, vitamin B6, vitamin K, thiamin, riboflavin and niacin.

THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

Contains about 574 kcal per 100 g, making portion size important for energy intake.
Contains 640 mg sodium, equivalent to about 1.60 g salt, per 100 g.
Cashew is a major tree-nut allergen and can cause severe reactions; cross-contact must be considered.
Contains 9.16 g saturated fat per 100 g, so the fat profile is not entirely unsaturated.
Salt, roast level and added seasonings vary among products; a specific package label supersedes this generic profile.
