Abstract
Cashew nuts have been a staple in diets for centuries, valued for their
rich energy content, nutritional profile, and diverse flavor. Nutritionally,
cashew kernels offer a balanced composition of proteins, carbohydrates, and
fats, with a notable presence of essential amino acids and unsaturated fatty
acids. The kernel is cholesterol-free and rich in oleic acid, a monounsaturated
fat known for its role in lowering cholesterol levels. Cashew nuts provide a
significant amount of energy (611 Kcal/100 g) and are comparable to other
nutrient-dense foods like almonds, milk, eggs, and meat. This
presentation aims to explore the nutritional content and health benefits of
cashew nuts (Anacardium occidentale), specifically focusing on their
role in promoting cardiovascular health, managing weight, and providing
essential nutrients. It also seeks to provide an overview of cashew production
in the coastal region of Karnataka.
