About Glenda’s Farmhouse
Glenda’s Farmhouse, an offshoot of our family’s owned Andersen & Sons Shelling, produces many tree nuts and sea salt products. We prioritize family, community, healthy foods, the land and resources, and innovative farming techniques.
The professionals of Glenda’s Farmhouse handle every element of production. From farming to harvesting, processing, packaging, and distributing, we prioritize quality at every step.
Cashews play a role in a healthy diet with healthy macros, yummy flavors, and healthy fat. While on a diet, we don’t suggest that you mindlessly snack on cashews or anything else. Bear in mind that too much of anything will cause weight gain, and mindfully eating is crucial to weight management.
Dieting isn’t easy. It requires planning, consistency, preparation, and follow-through. Part of your preparation should be to have ingredients on hand that can be used to add nutrition to dishes and satiate hunger. Cashews can be thrown into dishes to amp up the nutrition, and the high degree of fiber and protein will keep you full for longer.
Grown right here in California, Glenda’s Farmhouse cashews enjoy the ideal growing climate for flavor. You may not realize it, but all cashews are processed to remove the poison ivy-like substance found in the shell.
You may not realize it, but all cashews are processed to remove the poison ivy-like substance found in the shell. You may have also heard that the saturated fat in cashews make them a no-no for dieters, but the majority of the fat is actually heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. These fats are known to lower bad cholesterol, maintain good cholesterol, and promote cardiovascular health. Cashews are also actually seeds rather than actual tree nuts, and they provide ample health benefits and macros for a quality, nutritious diet.
