Raw cashews from Glenda’s Farmhouse make tasty dishes tastier and are good for you too. As you add items to your cart, include all your healthy favorites for snacking and cooking nutritious meals for your family.
A “raw” cashew has been processed but hasn’t been roasted or salted. As with vegetables and other nuts, cooking removes some nutrients, so the raw form is healthier. In this state, cashews are soft with a sweeter taste than the crisp, savory notes of toasted cashews.
Raw cashews are usually preferred when processing your cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, milk, or flour substitutes.

Cashews are known for a wide range of health benefits. Many of these benefits come from the monounsaturated fats that are incredibly prevalent within cashews. These fats can turn around cholesterol numbers, increasing the good HDL and lowering the bad LDL cholesterol numbers. Healthy cholesterol leads to cleaner arteries, lower blood pressure, and a reduced chance of heart attack or stroke.
The protein found within cashews rivals that of animal-sourced protein. Cashew consumption is a healthy alternative to meat, leading to longer-lasting feelings of fullness, higher metabolism rates, and more fiber. These factors help with weight management, a benefit that can help avoid cardiovascular disease, Type II diabetes, chronic pain, and other significant health issues.
From the bones to the brain, systems throughout the body benefit from incorporating cashews into the diet regularly.
