Nut consumption is associated with a lower risk of dying from stroke, heart disease, respiratory disease, infections, diabetes and even cancer. An average of around 12g a day is recommended. There is such a thing as too many nuts due to oxalates, avoid regularly eating more than a cup a day.

All of our food items are bought via co-operatives who ensure products are fairly traded and that workers are protected-important for cashew harvesting.
A bit like wonky fruit and veg, buying cashew pieces stops them being wasted.
A lot of cashew farming in Vietnam occurs on “small, often wild or naturalized plantations” that don’t use any fertilizers or pesticides. If pesticides are used cashew nuts naturally have two protective coverings — the outer shell and the inner “testa” layer — shielding them from the direct application of pesticides.
