Roasting cashews in Air Fryer is a breeze. It just takes only 5-6 mins to roast the raw cashews. With the Philips air fryer, we don’t even need to preheat it. No deep fry, just a tsp of ghee will do the magic.
Cashews are an excellent source of healthy fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated varieties. These nuts are also a modest source of protein. Nutritionists suggest limiting cashew nut kernel consumption to up to 5 – 10 cashews a day to avoid weight gain. You can eat 15–30 cashew nuts daily as a primary source of fat and a secondary source of protein. Not all fats are bad for you, and some types of fat can help your heart health.
Cashews are as healthy as they are delicious. They contain protein, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Like other nuts, cashews can be great for heart health, controlling blood sugar, and supporting healthy weight loss. (Source: achalorg.com)
