NOW Real Food&amptrade; Cashews have a rich, buttery, nutty flavor that makes them one of the most enjoyable nuts to eat raw. They&amprsquo;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&amprsquo;re also a good source of fiber and iron. Nature&amprsquo;s blessings indeed!
