THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • Contains 581 kcal and 47.8 g fat per 100 g, so portions can be easy to underestimate when eaten directly from a large container.
  • Contains 308 mg sodium, equivalent to about 0.770 g salt per 100 g; the unsalted oil-roasted USDA profile contains much less sodium.
  • Oil roasting adds oil and can produce a different fat and energy profile from dry-roasted or raw cashews.
  • Cashew is a major tree-nut allergen and can cause severe reactions; cross-contact also matters.
  • Whole nuts and nut pieces are choking hazards for young children; follow age-appropriate preparation guidance.
  • Salt levels and roasting oils vary by manufacturer, and opened cashews can turn rancid; check the package and store cool and airtight.
