Cashew nuts, kernel only, plain

Cashew nuts are the edible kernels of the cashew tree. The figures here describe plain kernels, including whole and broken nuts. They mainly provide fat, with protein and carbohydrate also contributing energy. Per 100g, they contain 2374 kJ of energy, 48g of fat, 18g of protein and 270mg of magnesium.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while magnesium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Cashews are concentrated sources of energy, which is worth noting when monitoring energy intake. Their fat includes both unsaturated and saturated fats. These plain kernels contain little salt; salted versions may differ. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
