NOW Foods Whole Raw Cashews Unsalted Description
NOW Real Food Cashews have a rich, buttery, nutty flavor that makes them one of the most enjoyable nuts to eat raw. They're also a great addition to many desserts and appetizers and make a savory crust for chicken and seafood dishes as well.
As with most nuts, Cashews are a good natural source of protein (up to five grams of protein per ounce). They're also a good source of fiber and iron. Nature's blessings indeed!
Fresher ingredients simply taste better, which is why this product is packaged using NOW Fresh Fill Technology to maximize flavor and freshness.
Because you are what you eat, NOW Real Food has been committed to providing delicious, healthy, natural and organic foods since 1968. We're independent, family owned and proud of it. Keep it natural. Keep it real.
