7 Real Benefits of Cashew Nuts (and How Many to Eat)
Kaju gets typecast as an indulgence, but the numbers tell a friendlier story. Here are the real benefits of cashew nuts – and how much is the right amount.
Heart-friendly fats
Most of a cashew’s fat is monounsaturated – the same family as olive oil – associated with healthy cholesterol profiles when replacing fried-snack fats.
Protein and minerals
Per 30g: ~5g protein plus meaningful copper, magnesium, zinc and iron – minerals that support immunity, energy metabolism and nerve function.
Brain and mood
Magnesium and healthy fats support cognitive function; cashews also provide tryptophan, a precursor the body uses to make serotonin.
Skin and hair
Copper feeds collagen and melanin production; vitamin E-adjacent fats keep skin supple. Cheaper than most serums, tastier too.
How many per day
A 30g portion – roughly 15-18 whole cashews – fits most diets. They are calorie-dense (~165 kcal per 30g), so measure rather than munch from the tin.
Choosing good cashews
Whole beats broken (fresher, better stored), and grade matters: bigger kernels like our jumbo whole cashew are creamier. Learn what W180/W320 mean in our cashew grades guide, or go straight to flavour with salted roasted cashews. Storage tips: keep nuts fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do cashews raise cholesterol?
They contain no cholesterol; their mono-unsaturated fats are considered heart-friendly in sensible portions.
Raw or roasted cashews – which is better?
Nutritionally similar; light roasting improves taste and shelf life. Avoid heavily fried, over-salted versions.
Can diabetics eat cashews?
In measured portions cashews are low-GI; individual guidance should come from your doctor.

Makhana, also called fox nuts or lotus seeds, are puffed seeds of the Euryale ferox plant, harvested mainly in Bihar, India. They are a light, crunchy, protein-rich snack that is naturally gluten-free and low in calories.
Is makhana good for weight loss?
Yes. Makhana is low in calories, high in protein and fibre, and keeps you full longer. Roasted makhana is a healthier alternative to fried snacks like chips.
