Did you know that botanically cashew is not a nut? Like almonds or pistachios, the cashew belongs to the drupe family. The cashew tree, which is native to Brazil, is even said to have healing powers. These power seeds not only provide energy, but also contain many important nutrients. The healthy fatty acids they contain have a positive effect on the cardiovascular system. Cashews also contain a high proportion of the amino acid L-tryptophan. This is an important building block of the messenger substance serotonin – the so-called “happiness hormone”.
